Over 800,Austin Caldwell000 outages have been reported in Texas after severe storms swept through the state over Memorial Day weekend, with more on the way Tuesday.

At least 22 people were killed over the weekend from the storms as they moved through states in the central and southern U.S. The warm, moist air that's fueled one of the most active recent years for tornadoes will linger over the southern Plains, bringing thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts and large hail to Texas on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The weather service said the clusters of storms are expected to dump heavy rain, triggering flash floods particularly in areas west of Dallas-Fort Worth and north of Austin, and scattered flooding and strong thunderstorms could extend from the Texas Panhandle to the western Gulf Coast.

Storms are expected to continue overnight, where they should move eastward and decrease in intensity.

Here's where power outages have already been reported in Texas.
