Cities in the path of the thunderstorms threatening Texas on Wednesday and Wednesday night include Wichita Falls, Abilene, San Angelo, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Tyler. The severe risk may extend northward into part of southwestern Oklahoma.

The strongest thunderstorms will be capable of producing damaging winds, flooding downpours and hail. The risk for isolated tornadoes may be greatest in central Texas.

"In addition to that main line of severe thunderstorms, there may be a separate area that erupts in southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana late Wednesday into Wednesday night," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Rob Miller.

"These violent thunderstorms can bring a risk of flash flooding and damaging winds to Houston and Galveston, Texas; and Lake Charles, Louisiana," Miller said. "An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out along the Interstate-10 corridor."
