There is a low chance of strong to severe storms, especially as the cold front moves into the area this evening.
Mainly light showers are expected over South Central Texas today through around 5 PM. After 5 PM, warm air east of I-35 could interact with abundant moisture to produce a few late day storms. A cold front reaching our northern counties by 7 PM could lead to strong storms that will follow the front southward through the evening. The chance of strong storms should decrease and shift south between midnight and 2 AM CST Sunday.
