An incoming low pressure system and cold front bring the chance for severe storms into parts of the southern plains on Sunday.

Storms with gusty winds along with the possibility of spin-up tornadoes will form along a cold front late Sunday for parts of southeast Oklahoma and north central Texas.

An upper low will be moving out of the Rockies and into the southern plains on Sunday. The upper level winds will promote favorable wind shear, or turning with height, to sustain severe storm updrafts.

At the surface, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will surge north ahead of a cold front. Due to the late day timing of the system moisture will be limited but there will still be enough present to energize any storms that may form.

The other ingredient necessary for severe storms is surface instability, which is found in the form of warm temperatures. Ahead of the cold front on Sunday temperatures will be in the upper 60s to middle 70s across parts of central, southern and eastern Texas. This is well warm enough especially in January for strong storms.

Heavy rain is expected with this system as well. Isolated areas of flash flooding are possible where heavy rain sets up.
