AUSTIN, Texas — We're gearing up for our next severe thunderstorm risk for Central Texas Thursday during the afternoon and evening hours. Thanks to a warm front, it's a muggy Thursday morning and with an approaching low pressure system from West Texas, this combination will bring us the potential for strong and severe storms along with rounds of torrential rainfall.

Like other rivers across Arkansas, the Ouachita River continues to flood at historic levels. It crest just under 43 ft, making it the highest since 1987. Numerous road closures along with homes impacted from the river flooding. Picture from Tammy Bird in Camden. #arwx https://t.co/PzChDbS6q8
A little bump in the road of our nice weather arrives Thursday. We’ll see a few isolated storms across east Arkansas during the afternoon and evening that could have large hail and gusty winds. This is a very isolated chance and very few people will actually see rain. #arwx https://t.co/STX1BMW75C
In true Arkansas fashion… we’re going to go from heavy rain and severe weather to our coldest air in weeks. Frost and freeze for northwest to north-central Arkansas tonight. Stay warm! #arwx https://t.co/yGYTssIvm6
