Scattered showers and storms will impact much of the region today, continuing into tonight. Rain amounts will be hit or miss, but areas that do see storms will receive locally heavy rainfall due to efficient rain rates and slow storm motions, resulting in an isolated flood threat. Never drive into water of unknown depth. Remember to Turn Around, Don't Drown. Strong, gusty and erratic winds in and nearby storms will be hazardous to those outdoors, especially if boating on area lakes. Keep an eye on the weather today!
Rain and thunderstorm chances will continue through Tuesday, with the highest coverage expected to shift into Central Central Texas by Monday. Locally heavy rain with the slow moving storms will lead to isolated instances of flooding, with a secondary threat for strong storms containing small hail and gusty winds. Forecast details will continue to be refined through the weekend, so check back for updates.
