TEXAS – Half a dozen tornadoes reportedly touched down Wednesday in tornado alley, including four in Texas, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center.
- More storms possible Thursday, Friday
- Tornadoes spotted in North Texas
- Could unleash sizable hail
The closest happened Wednesday evening, when a trained storm spotter witnessed a twister dropping from a storm in the small town of Gatesville, which is roughly 100 miles north-northwest of the Capital City.
A slight risk for severe storms continues to loom overhead on Thursday, and there is a marginal risk for severe weather on Friday.
The Storm Prediction Center calls for the strongest thunderstorms to unleash some sizable hail and potentially damaging storm winds.
