Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon across portions of the Caprock and Rolling Plains. Storms will then expand in coverage heading into tonight across the entire area. All hazards will be possible, including: tornadoes, giant hail up to DVD size, damaging wind gusts in excess of 70 mph, and heavy rainfall. The threat for giant hail will diminish after dark. An overnight flash flooding event is also possible, especially in the Rolling Plains.

Heavy rainfall will accompany thunderstorms today, and storms will eventually grow into a large complex tonight. As the severe weather threat diminishes late tonight, the flash flooding risk will increase. Recent rainfall will exacerbate the flash flooding potential tonight.
