A tornado watch has been issued, in effect until 4 PM CDT, for the eastern Hill Country and for areas along and east of the northern I-35 corridor. Counties included are Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Comal, Dewitt, Fayette, Gillespie, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Hays, Kendall, Lavaca, Lee, Llano, Travis, and Williamson.
Severe storms and heavy rains are possible through much of Tuesday. The main threats are large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rains with an isolated tornado also possible.
Showers and thunderstorms, including some severe storms, will move eastward during the morning hours, with the highest chances for rain and severe weather north of I-10 and from the Hill Country eastward. Skies should begin to clear for most areas behind the rain, allowing temperatures to rise into the 80s and low 90s.
Chances for isolated to scattered thunderstorms continue through Thursday, though with lesser chances than the start of the week. Fair weather is expected for Friday and through the weekend with temperatures near normal values for this time of year.
