Severe storms on Monday produced hail up to 4 inches in diameter, or roughly softball size, in Denton County and near Cleo, Texas. A brief tornado caused minor damage at a shopping center along Interstate 45 in Huntsville, Texas.
A broad area from Texas to the Gulf Coast region could see scattered severe storms through Wednesday morning.
