AUSTIN, Texas — Drier and warmer for the next couple days, but rain chances quickly return to the forecast before we know it.
Mostly sunny and warm conditions this afternoon with highs at approximately 90 degrees. Don't forget your sunscreen if you'll be spending prolonged periods of time outside – the UV index is a 10, which is considered "very high."
The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted Mason County under a "marginal" risk for an isolated storm Tuesday afternoon or early evening, but no significant rain chances are in the forecast. We'll see similar conditions for Wednesday.
On Thursday, unsettled weather returns with a 60-70% chance of scattered showers and storms. The Storm Prediction Center has already placed all of Central Texas under a "slight" – level 2 out of 5 – risk for severe weather.
