A Tornado Watch has been issued for much of Central Texas

WACO, Texas (KWTX) - A Tornado Watch has been issued for much of Central Texas until 11pm.

Scattered storms are likely to develop during the afternoon hours, and some of these storms are likely to produce severe weather across part of Central and North Texas. Large hail and damaging winds will be the largest risk with these storms, but a few isolated tornadoes can’t be ruled out. As of now you need to prepare for the potential of seeing hail over golf ball size, winds in excess of 70 mph, and the possibility of a tornado.

The risk for severe storms is a little higher across our northern counties, but the possibility of strong storms is in place for all of Central Texas.

We expect storms to start to form between 3 & 4pm this afternoon.

We will have the possibility of seeing multiple waves of scattered thunderstorms through the afternoon and early evening.

The threat for severe weather will last into the evening hours. Most of the storms should be out of our area by 10pm
