A tornado watch remains in effect for parts of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi as severe weather continues. The watch warns of potential tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. Residents should stay alert and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.

At least two tornadoes have been confirmed in Texas, causing severe damage to multiple homes in Liverpool on Saturday. A confirmed tornado was also reported near Splendora, Texas, around noon local time.

According to Dan Davis, the mayor of Manvel, Texas, there has been at least one storm-related fatality, and significant damage has been reported to buildings, schools, and power lines. Many areas to the east of Manvel are now without power and running water, and several trailer homes have been destroyed.

Severe weather continues across the south, with more tornadoes expected throughout the afternoon and evening. The Tornado Watch issued for Texas has been classified as a "Particularly Dangerous Situation." This designation is given only when the Storm Prediction Center forecasts a high likelihood of multiple intense tornadoes (rated EF2 or higher), a classification that occurs in about 7% of Tornado Watches.

On Saturday, a moderate risk for severe weather extends from eastern Texas through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The severe weather threat began in Texas on Saturday morning and is expected to continue eastward through the evening and into the overnight hours. The most significant risk includes strong, long-tracked tornadoes, potentially reaching EF3 or higher, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

In addition to tornadoes, there are threats of large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding. Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches is expected from Texas to Alabama and Tennessee, with localized areas possibly receiving 5 or more inches, further heightening the risk of flash flooding.

This storm complex is expected to reach the Southeast on Sunday, bringing a severe weather threat to the region, though it is anticipated to be less intense than Saturday’s storms. On Sunday morning, strong to severe storms will impact Georgia and the Carolinas, where major cities like Charlotte and Atlanta may experience morning delays due to the storm. The primary threats on Sunday will include damaging winds and potential tornadoes, though the overall risk is lower compared to Saturday.

Virginia may also experience strong to severe storms on Sunday, particularly in the late morning and early afternoon. The storm system will move northeast, reaching Philadelphia and New York City early Monday morning, but it is expected to clear by sunrise. However, Boston will likely see a rainy Monday morning.
