Very large hail (2+ inches), swaths of severe/damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are all possible. 01z Update Scattered severe thunderstorms are ongoing across northeast TX into AR, MS and vicinity. A mix of storms modes, including supercells and bowing segments will persist into the nighttime hours. Areas of large to very large hail (2+ inches with strongest cells), a few tornadoes (a couple could be strong), and damaging wind gusts remain possible over the next several hours. The main outlook changes were to reduce severe probabilities across areas where storm potential has diminished, particularly for the Lever 4 of 5 (Moderate) risk area in TX where storms have moved southeast out of that area and redevelopment to the north appears unlikely.
