BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - A Tornado WATCH is in effect for Lee, Burleson, Milam, Robertson, and Leon counties until 10pm.
The National Weather Service in Houston noted an overall SMALL chance at storms moving into the area, but those that are able to, will likely be severe. While the primary concern will be for golf ball sized hail or larger and wind gusts 70mph+, a tornado cannot be ruled out.

The overall CHANCE for finding severe weather in your neighborhood still looks low the next couple of days, but the threat for strong wind and hail is absolutely there if storms are able to develop.
