Timing for Wednesday's severe weather threat in Central Texas
AUSTIN, Texas — An upper-level area of low pressure will move through the state on Wednesday allowing for another round of numerous showers and thunderstorms, some of which will be strong to severe.

Large hail, possibly as large as 2 inches in diameter, looks to be the primary threat. Severe storms producing damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will also be possible late Wednesday through the early morning hours of Thursday. Heavy downpours could also trigger minor street and creek flooding.
