A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for Victoria County until 11 p.m. this evening.

Cities that could see strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon include Aransas Pass, Beeville, Fulton, Goliad, Port Lavaca, Refugio, Rockport, Sinton, Taft, Victoria, and Woodsboro.

Severe winds blew through Texas City Wednesday night. Officials are investigating whether a tornado blew through the city, causing damage to the area.

The storm prediction center has placed Victoria and the Crossroads within the at-risk area for severe thunderstorms this afternoon. Wind, hail, and an isolated tornado will be possible this afternoon and early this evening.

While the severe threat remains low to moderate the chances for 2 to 3 inches of rain look very likely in the Crossroads today and tomorrow.

Severe weather season in the Crossroads is not far away. Anyone who is interested is invited to join the upcoming SkyWarn/Storm Spotter training session.

A series of tornadoes hit Oklahoma Friday night, killing at least 13 people and leaving many more missing, without homes or stranded. Other storms and flooding also hit Arkansas and Missouri, and remnants of that severe weather moved east all the way to New England, where 19,000 are still without power on Monday morning.
