Scattered storms dotted the East Texas map on Saturday afternoon and evening.  Most of those storms provided brief heavy downpours and quite a few lightning strikes, however, a cell that moved through Polk County produced a short-lived tornado.

Saturday afternoon and evening, severe storms moved through Deep East Texas bringing heavy downpours, gusty winds, and reports of pea to marble sized hail.

Severe storms raced across a number of Deep East Texas counties Wednesday evening.  Over the course of the night, severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings were issued for Cherokee, Nacogdoches, Shelby, and Panola counties.

Lufkin, Nacogdoches, San Augustine, Center, Natchitoches, Alexandria...these are a few of the cities that are right at the heart of what could be a severe weather outbreak on Wednesday.

Hopefully, the scene from above won't be something that we see around Deep East Texas throughout the day and evening on Tuesday, but severe storms are expected, especially in those areas just south of Lufkin and extending towards Houston and Beaumont.

The upcoming Memorial Day Weekend could be a bit on the soggy side as an increasingly unstable weather pattern could dump heavy rain over portions of Deep East Texas.

Severe weather and massive rainfall amounts are threatening the Pineywoods over the next several days.  Up to a foot of rain could fall in parts of our area.
