Memorial Day storms blast Texas with baseball-sized hail, hurricane-force wind gusts knocking out power
Rounds of severe weather barreled across communities from the Plains to the Southeast on Monday, slowing travel back home after the busy Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The powerful storms in Texas reportedly produced baseball-sized hail in some areas while hurricane-force wind gusts snapped trees like twigs, damaged property and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of utility customers.
Severe storms linger in South as Texas faces large hail threat on Tuesday
Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely on Tuesday from parts of the southern Plains through the Southeast.
If enough heating occurs during the day, a few stronger storms could form, especially where the atmosphere becomes most unstable. In these areas, isolated hail and strong wind gusts will be possible. Hail larger than 2 inches in diameter is most likely across Central and West Texas.
