From KOXE Meteorologist Randy Turner – As of 1:05 pm, strong storms had developed just north of Early and Brownwood on Highway 183, near Cross Plains in Callahan County and near Oplin in Callahan County.  They are moving toward the South at about 20 mph.

WHAT TO EXPECT:  Storms today may easily produce strong wind up to 50 to 55 mph.  Some storms may become severe and produce small hail but it’s mainly damaging wind that is the biggest threat.  Lightning and heavy downpours should also be expected.

HOW LONG:  Storms should last into the early evening before ending near sunset.

ALSO WATCHING:  A line of storms south of DFW moving toward the Southwest so those may move into the Comanche, Hamilton, Erath county area later this afternoon.
