The National Weather Service says two to four inches of rain is possible on Friday, creating a threat of flooding. Golf-ball sized hail and winds of up to 70 miles per hour are also possible.

The weather service's Storm Prediction Center says tornadoes are possible in North Texas, southeastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

The storms are expected to develop by mid-afternoon and continue into Friday night before moving out of the area early Saturday morning.
