In what they call an "Enhanced Risk" of severe weather moving into the entire Arklatex area Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night, the National Weather Service says that we are at a "Medium Risk" for potential tornadoes in the area.

Our area is also in for possible damaging winds up to 70 miles per hour, quarter sized hail, up to one inch in diameter, and heavy rain.

This heavy rain has also prompted the NWS to issue a slight risk for flash flooding stating that, "Locally heavy rain could accompany the severe thunderstorm risk on Tuesday into Tuesday night with isolated amounts of 3 inches or more of rainfall possible."
