Weekly Outlook

Today

If you do see storms today (which some may not), here is a look at the best timing. Always have multiple ways to receive warning information and stay weather aware as we do have an active pattern the next few days.

We have a level 2 of 5 risk for severe weather for today. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will likely develop mid-morning and move south across our area during the daytime hours. While not all will see storms, the main risks for those that do will be large hail, damaging winds, lightning and locally heavy rainfall. Additionally, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

Conditions remain warm and humid through midweek. However, a cooling trend begins late week, with highs dropping into the 70s and 80s by next weekend. Rain chances are low early in the week but increase to medium to high (40–90%) for Thursday and Friday.

Today is expected to be a wetter day as a cold front moves into south central Texas. Highs will range from the 70s to the upper 90s along with showers and thunderstorms, particularly by the early to mid afternoon hours..
