Severe Storms Expected in East Texas Friday Afternoon/Evening

An upper level storm system is expected to move across east and northeast Texas Friday and early Saturday.  This should trigger storms across the area with the possibility of severe storms affecting some locations.  At this time, it looks like the main threat of severe storms will occur during the afternoon and evening hours across the Pineywoods.  Damaging winds with gusts to 65 mph, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are possible.  Locally heavy rainfall could also produce minor flooding.
