Austin weather: Rainy pattern ahead
Looks like we'll see some storms in our area in the coming days. Zack Shields has all the details in his full forecast.
AUSTIN, Texas - An active weather pattern is setting up for at least the next 2 weeks.
Timeline:
We are tracking Pacific lows that will catch a ride on the Pacific tropical flow and will come to town.
Low #1 will impact us Thursday through Friday.
Low #2 arrives this weekend especially on Sunday.
Low #3 impacts the area next week.
By the numbers:
If you add up all the daily rain for the next week much of the area will get 1 to 3" of rain.
Why you should care:
The second Pacific low will bring more energy and moisture to set off severe storms mainly in West Texas on Saturday and the severe risk will get closer to Central Texas late on Sunday.
There are signs it will continue to act like the stormy season all the way through next week at least as the southern branch of the storm track takes aim on Texas.
