AUSTIN, Texas — Wednesday was cloudy and cool across Central Texas, but we’re now tracking some changes as a severe weather threat develops for Thursday. Through Wednesday night showers will become numerous. There could also be some patchy fog and drizzle, but none of this activity will be severe.
The severe weather window will open at 8 a.m. on Thursday, and will continue through 3 p.m. in the afternoon. The highest severe weather threat on Thursday will be over southeast Texas outside of the KVUE area. However, we still have the risk for a few severe severe storms locally, especially east of I-35. The main threat will be isolated, short-lived tornadoes. Make sure you have the KVUE app downloaded so you can receive any warnings!
The storm chance will end for Central Texas by late Thursday afternoon, and then a cold front will push through Central Texas Thursday night. This front won’t really bring any cooler air, but it will put an end to our rain chances for at least the next several days.
Afternoons through this weekend will be pleasant with highs in the low to mid 70s. Mornings will be cool in the 40s.
