Timeline of Central Texas storms Wednesday
After a refreshing start Wednesday morning, temperatures and humidity levels will build through the early afternoon hours as highs reach the mid and upper 80s.
Central Texas should remain dry through noon, but by 2 p.m. or 3 p.m., the window for storms will open.
Activity may initially begin north of the Austin area, and then spread southeast through later afternoon hours.
By about 5 p.m., the activity is likely to become more widespread, especially for the northern tier of the area.
Not necessarily all of Central Texas will experience a storm on Wednesday, but where the storms do develop, they could be severe.
Storms will continue moving to the southeast through the early evening hours, and the potential for large hail, gusty winds and a couple of tornadoes will continue.
Eventually, storms are expected to move south of the area through the later evening hours.
Showers and downpours may continue through the overnight but, by 10 p.m., the severe weather threat should be coming to an end based on current forecast trends.
The KVUE Storm Team will continue to monitor the forecast closely and will fine tune timing and details as confidence increases.
