we had five states with hail stones coming down at two inches in size or greater. that storm threat does expand today. we have a level 2 threat, austin, houston to shreveport, and houston lights up tonight. one of the other hazards here, along with the hail, wind and possibility of isolated tornadoes, we have a night storm situation. once you get post sunset you can t see the storms and that enhances them. tornadoes are twice as likely to be deadly when they happen at night. enhanced risks tonight. john: people have to keep their head on a swivel. thank you. john: tune into fox weather by downloading the app for free, and if you are very good with your cell phone or close to the screen, quickly click that qr code on the screen and that will get you there right away. sandra. sandra: all new at 2:00,
