Cold air above 5,000 feet altitude suggests a severe weather event is possible Wednesday afternoon and evening in East Texas. A strong moist air in-flow, intersecting the path of thunderstorms along Red River, could produce rains of 4.0 to 5.0 inches there. With less favorable track lines in the Tyler area, rains should run between 1.0 and 2.0 inches. These should not be enough to overwhelm drainages.
