Severe thunderstorms producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes will be less numerous Thursday, but will become more numerous in two separate events: Friday and Saturday, then again Sunday into Monday in parts of the Plains and South recently hammered by severe thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall.

Severe Weather Expert Dr. Greg Forbes of The Weather Channel says that an outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes is likely with the first event Friday into Saturday.

According to the Storm Prediction Center, there were roughly a half-dozen reports of brief tornadoes Wednesday in the rolling plains of western Texas, none of which produced any damage. Hail up to 3 inches in diameter was reported in Knox and Randall Counties. Pockets of damaging winds were also reported in parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and winds gusted to 71 mph in Philadelphia just before 3 p.m. EDT.
