CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Wet and unstable atmosphere will continue today as an upper-level disturbance moves in from the west into northern parts of the state and will result in numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms over the South Texas area today.

Locally heavy rain, large hail, damaging winds and frequent lightning will all accompany the storms in the area today. A few isolated tornadoes are also possible. The entire region is under a Flash Flood Watch until 1 p.m. Thursday. Remember, if you come up on flooded roadways, TURN AROUND DON’T DROWN.
