On Wednesday, the models move the upper-level trough into the
   southern Plains and have a moist airmass in place from the Texas
   Coastal Plains northeastward into the mid Mississippi Valley.
   Thunderstorm development will be possible ahead of a front across
   the eastern third of Texas northeastward into the Arklatex.
   Deep-layer shear is forecast to be strong enough across
   south-central and southeast Texas for a severe threat Wednesday
   afternoon and evening. The models are in good enough agreement that
   a severe threat areas has been added across this area on Day 5.

A good synoptic set up but without a clear picture on the mesoscale ingredients this could be nothing

"Will maintain current risk category given some lingering forecast
   uncertainties, but subsequent outlook updates will continue to
   reevaluate observational/short-guidance trends for a possible
   Enhanced Risk upgrade for portions of south-central/southeast Texas."

Parents near Longview in a closet right now, TOR warning and they heard the low rumble sound.

That area of rotation dissipated as it moved northeast, and another area of decent rotation formed without a tornado warning near Diana, TX. I called my friend to let them know, but there was no tornado warning. He said it was quite windy and they had lost power, so I told them to hang tight for 10 minutes or so in their closet. No other incident that I'm aware of and it looks like the rotation has weakened.

Yea they’re good. They’re on the WO/East Mountain/ border essentially
