Texas Braces for Severe Weather with Baseball-Sized Hail and Heatwave Threats.

Texas was hit by baseball-sized hail overnight, with more severe weather expected across southern states. The National Weather Service has warned of damaging hail, tornadoes, flash flooding, and powerful winds in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and southern Georgia. Texans are also bracing for a severe heatwave, with triple-digit temperatures expected to grip most of the state by Friday. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas reassured residents that it had enough resources to cope with demand, but public officials advised vulnerable populations to limit their time outdoors during the hottest parts of the day.
