By Tuesday afternoon, the FOX Forecast Center said a cold front pushed south into the lower Mississippi Valley through Texas and surrounding areas.

South of the front, warm and humid air will help create unstable conditions. This could lead to scattered thunderstorms developing and moving east-southeastward.

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.
