Severe thunderstorms across the southern and eastern U.S. threatened a barrage of dangerous weather conditions from flooding rains and destructive winds to "very large hail" and possible tornadoes, forecasters said.

Major hazards possible for the DFW area Sunday night into Monday morning include winds of up to 80 mph or more, plus hail of 1.5 inches or more, spin-up tornadoes and localized flooding. (Hail of 1.5 inches is similar to the size of a ping pong ball, according to the NWS .)

Severe storms rolled through Central Texas early Monday, leaving hundreds without power. Limestone County saw the most outages with 826 initially affected, now down to just five.
