HOUSTON — Strong to severe storms moved through parts of the Houston area on Christmas Eve. A Tornado Warning was issued a little after 3 p.m. and several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were in effect, too. Those warnings later expired.

Texas is being battered by huge hailstones the size of quarters, powerful winds of up to 65mph and thunderstorms on Christmas Eve.

Southeast Texas continues to struggle with implementing this whole "winter" concept, and the week of Christmas is looking unfortunately balmy and stormy as the height of the holiday season approaches.

For the holiday week, multiple rounds of storms are expected to swing through Southeast Texas through Friday, with the first round arriving just in time for Santa’s annual zoom across Houston. Damaging wind and hail are possible with the strongest storm cells in Southeast Texas through Tuesday.

While Fort Worth will not see a white Christmas, we may see a cold, grey one. There is potential for storms with threats of hail and damaging winds on Christmas Eve, according to the Fort Worth National Weather Service forecast.

Reports of massive, quarter-sized hail falling from the sky in Houston on Christmas Eve appeared all over social media on Tuesday afternoon as a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado watch was issued for Harris County.
