Over the next three days, severe weather will slowly cross most of Texas, with damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes. The northwest portion of Texas will be hardest hit today, the central part tomorrow and the southeast section on Wednesday.

Much of the state could see flash flooding, with up to 5 inches of rain locally.
