More strong to severe storms possible for Central Texas Sunday evening

1 week ago | kvue.com | Jordan Darensbourg

AUSTIN, Texas — Another round of active weather could be headed our way. After a calm Saturday, a system bringing strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to impact the KVUE viewing area on Sunday evening, between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. The primary concern with these storms will be large hail, though damaging winds and heavy downpours are also possible. While it's only a 20% coverage for Sunday and not everyone will get a storm as a result, any storm that pops up could be a hail-producer.

AUSTIN, Texas — We've had a hot week so far in Central Texas, with the third earliest first triple-digit day on record for Camp Mabry on Tuesday, and similar temperatures Wednesday. We predicted a high that would break the all-time May heat record of 104, but high cloud cover prevented this from happening. We instead topped out at 101, which still set a daily heat record for Camp Mabry.

AUSTIN, Texas — We've now had all of the rain from last week counted on our drought monitor for this week, as most of last Tuesday's heavy rainfall fell past the 7 a.m. deadline for rain to be counted for the drought monitor for that week. With that, the Coastal Plains have seen great improvement in the drought situation, even eradicating the drought entirely in sections of Milam County, including Cameron.

AUSTIN, Texas — These past few days have been quite active to say the least. We have had multiple severe-warned storms across Central Texas, and we've even had two confirmed tornadoes in Central Texas, including Thursday evening's confirmed tornado in northeastern Burnet County and Tuesday's confirmed tornado in Milam County. The storms also brought impressive and beneficial rainfall totals across multiple sections of the KVUE area.

AUSTIN, Texas — While we have had beneficial rainfall earlier this week, we expect that to dwindle after Friday, even with storm chances being isolated to scattered at best. However, there could be another round of storms next week, meaning even more beneficial rain could be in the forecast. Here's a timeline of what we're tracking. After Friday's rain, storm chances dwindle for the weekend. As those storm chances drop, high temperatures will rise.
Central Texas sees drought conditions worsen in the Coastal Plains

AUSTIN, Texas — While severe storms brought quite a bit of rain on Tuesday, especially east of I-35, we did not see that measured in the latest drought monitor. However, that means improvements should come pretty soon. Over the past week, our drought conditions worsened in the Coastal Plains, as many areas that were in the "moderate" drought fell to the "severe" drought category. Despite Tuesday's heavy rain, Fayette County fell to the "extreme" category.

AUSTIN, Texas — Many in the Hill Country saw a decent amount of rainfall on Saturday morning. According to gauges by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and radar estimates, some areas in Gillespie County got up to 2.5 inches of rain, which will certainly make a dent in the drought. With drier air now in place, we're tracking much chillier temperatures for Saturday and Sunday, especially Sunday morning, before we warm up for next week. Here's what we're tracking.
