Quiet night ahead after storms rolled through Central Texas

After isolated storms on Thursday, a quiet pattern returns.

AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: This blog is no longer updating.

Thursday will feature a low-end threat for severe weather across Central Texas. 

Widespread storms like what moved through Wednesday afternoon and night are not expected, but an isolated storm capable of hail and gusty winds will be possible.

The latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center includes the KVUE area in the "marginal" -- level one of five -- risk for severe storms. The higher likelihood of severe weather is expected to remain to the south.

As opposed to Wednesday, the coverage of storms for Thursday will be very widely isolated. This means most locations will stay completely dry and not experience any stormy weather.

As activity moves southward through the evening, a few more organized clusters of storms may develop, especially just south of the KVUE area where the higher severe weather risk is expected. 

By about midnight any remaining storms should be moving south of the area, and the severe weather risk will come to an end.

Friday will be just about completely dry, and very nice weather is in the forecast for the upcoming weekend.
