Weather Impact Alert | Tornado reported on the ground in Milam County

AUSTIN, Texas — *The National Weather Service has confirmed a tornado on the ground in Milam County, near Highway 190, southeast of Cameron. The tornado is moving toward Maysfield. Residents in the area need to take cover immediately. The Tornado Warning in Milam County is expected to expire at 12:45 p.m.*

An active weather pattern is unfolding across Central Texas, and the KVUE Weather Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert through Tuesday. Multiple rounds of storms are expected, with all forms of severe weather possible, including large hail, isolated tornadoes and flooding. 

With that being said, not everyone will see heavy rain or severe weather – we just want you to be prepared for some storms that could be severe.

The National Weather Service issued a Tornado Watch for Williamson, Travis, Hays, Milam, Lee, Bastrop, Caldwell, and Fayette County through 4 PM Tuesday afternoon.

Storms are expected to move west to east through the first half of Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon there will be another window for severe weather late Tuesday. 

This second round remains more uncertain and will depend on how much the atmosphere is able to recover. If instability does build back in, isolated supercells may redevelop, particularly east of I-35, with the potential for all types of severe weather.

After Tuesday, a few lingering storms are possible on Wednesday, but the forecast trends drier and quieter into late week and the weekend.

The KVUE Weather Team will continue to monitor this evolving forecast closely.

In the meantime, the extended forecast is available below:
