AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: This blog is no longer updating. For the latest, click here.
We continue to monitor our fire weather concerns through at least Saturday with low humidity still in place.
The weekend forecast should be just about completely dry with just a small chance for a showers or storm Sunday evening. However, it will be breezy with wind gusts up to 35 mph possible for Sunday. A Wind Advisory will be in effect for Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Lee, Travis and Williamson counties from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
Humidity levels surge early next week thanks to that south wind. This will set the stage for our next chance for rain and storms in the Monday-Tuesday timeframe. As of now, the details are a little fuzzy as far as storm coverage, but we have at least scattered rain in the forecast both days.
We will also have to keep a close eye on the potential for strong storms. The Storm Prediction Center currently includes much of the KVUE area in the storm outlooks for both Monday and Tuesday. There is a "marginal" – level 1 out of 5 – risk for strong storms late Monday. A "slight" – level 2 out of 5 – risk for severe weather on Tuesday.
The KVUE Storm Team will continue to monitor this developing forecast. Download KVUE's app for updates and to check radar: kvue.com/app.
