WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON…

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. RAIN WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON…THEN SPREAD NORTH AND
WEST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE PANHANDLES WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING. SOME OF THE RAIN MAY MIX WITH OR CHANGE OVER TO

COULD BE IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE. THE PRECIPITATION WILL END FROM
