EAST TEXAS (KTRE) - Strong and gusty summertime thunderstorms will be rather disruptive in nature for many east Texas communities this afternoon and early this evening. With some of these thunderstorms being driven by outflow boundaries, some gusty winds are always a threat in this type of environment. These storms are also prolific lightning producers, which is always a summer threat to outdoor activities. This is something to be mindful of if you are on the lakes or out at the pool.
