Severe storms, tornadoes likely the day after Christmas

The potential exists for a high-impact weather day across parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. All the ingredients are coming together for afternoon and evening storms on Thursday to produce tornadoes [some of which could be strong across southeastern Texas, including the Houston Metro which sits within that risk], damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain that could lead to areas of flash flooding.
