Austin weather: Severe weather possible
Storms are finally coming through Central Texas and we could see some severe weather. Zack Shields has all the details in his full forecast.
AUSTIN, Texas - For the first time in a month and a half we will need to turn the radar on because rain and storms are heading this way.
The backstory:
It will be mostly cloudy, warm, humid and breezy with highs in the mid to upper 80s with a 40% chance of rain before 5 p.m.
As a low/front combo enters the picture tonight, storms will become likely and widespread from late evening to before sunrise tomorrow.
We will get some much-needed rain as the totals continue to trend higher.
However, we may have to deal with isolated severe storms with straight-line winds and localized flooding tonight.
