Storms move out by Thursday morning; more severe weather possible Friday evening

AUSTIN, Texas — Rain and storms will continue to push through Central overnight. The highest severe weather threat will north of Austin, but we still can’t rule out additional strong to severe storms between now and 4 a.m. We expect the more widespread storms to move into the Austin metro right around midnight. 

By Thursday morning we’re left with just a couple of lingering showers, and the sky will gradually clear by the afternoon with a high temperature near 80 degrees. 

Friday evening will bring one last chance for severe weather for the week. The afternoon will be warm with high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, and then a widespread line of strong to severe storms will move through during the evening. 

The Storm Prediction Center includes much of the KVUE area in the ‘slight’ – level 2 of 5 – severe weather risk with large hail, gusty winds, and isolated tornadoes possible at this time. 

By Saturday morning rain should be moving out, and the rest of the weekend will be dry as temperatures rebound to the 80s by Sunday. The first half of next week also looks completely dry.
