Austin weather: Increasing chance of rain Tuesday

Austin weather: Rain chances increase Tuesday as severe weather risk decreases

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible today and tomorrow. And two more storms systems are on the way. Zack Shields has details on this wet weather in his full forecast.

AUSTIN, Texas - Rain chances are increasing today.

An upper low in South Texas is heading right for us and should be enough to break up the lid on the atmosphere that has prevented us from seeing rain.

Scattered storms will start earlier today by midday.

The severe weather risk will be low but expect heavy rain, gusty winds and lightning with the storms.

Not as hot today with the rain starting earlier with highs close to seasonal levels.

Today's rain is just a sign of things to come as the conveyor belt of lows and moisture will keep us in the rainy pattern through the weekend.
