The main concerns will be the potential for large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado. Heavy downpours could create isolated flooding concerns as well. It once again looks like the stormiest weather on Tuesday will come late in the day during the afternoon and evening.

Scattered lingering showers will be in place Wednesday, but most of it will be light and most will remain dry. There will be no sever weather threat as well. Since we are on the back side of a stalled out boundary over South Central Texas, highs will only be in the 60s which is about 20 degrees cooler than average for this time of the year. Drier weather finally moves in by Thursday and Friday, but the dry weather won't last for long.
The wet weather pattern is expected to return this weekend through the start of next week. Rainfall totals of one to three inches are expected to be widespread across Central Texas over the extended forecast period.This means more beneficial rain but also the potential for flooding, especially in areas still saturated from recent rains. It is still too far out to tell if there will be any severe weather threat over the weekend through early next week.
The KVUE Storm Team will continue to closely monitor this developing forecast.
