AUSTIN, Texas — Widespread showers and storms moved through Central Texas Wednesday evening and overnight. A few scattered showers and storms will linger in the morning hours, mostly east of I-35. Expect a warm and muggy start to the day with temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Patchy fog will be possible.
Additional scattered showers and storms will also be a possibility this afternoon, especially along and east of I-35. This will contribute to our flood threat as we continue to monitor the potential for heavy downpours. Some storms could also be on the strong side, with large hail and damaging wind. Quieter conditions should arrive Thursday evening as humidity continues to stick around.
Another round of patchy fog could develop for your Friday morning commute. Forecast models are still showing the potential for storms to develop during the afternoon and into the evening. We currently have chances at 40% for this timeframe.
Over the weekend, isolated to scattered storm chances will be possible as afternoon highs peak in the mid-80s. As of now, our highest weekend rain chances will be Sunday afternoon.
Drier and much warmer weather arrives next week as highs climb into the mid-90s by Wednesday.
