AUSTIN, Texas — Good Sunday morning and Happy Mother's Day to all celebrating! If you have outdoor plans today you may be dodging some rain and isolated storms. As of 6 a.m. this morning, there is a large conglomerate of storms passing north of Austin, that should help our Highland river and lakes system, with radar estimates of 1-3+" inches falling in San Saba and McColloch County.
Throughout the morning, our region will mostly experience scattered showers, with the potential for an embedded thunderstorm. This afternoon, the chance for storms increases a bit, but mostly east of I-35, and during post-dinner hours. Our greatest risk for severe storms and highest flood risks hug the central and northeastern portions of Central Texas today.
Monday Austin will also see another round of strong storms, with a 'slight', level 2 out of 5, risk for severe weather.
Finally drier on Tuesday, with temperatures back into the lower 90s. Rain chances work their way back on Thursday this next week, with highs in the 80s and humidity increasing too.
