    AUSTIN (KXAN) - A microburst associated with a supercell thunderstorm moved through Austin on Wednesday, May 28. The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio surveyed the damage from the storm to determine the cause and strength and determined a "long-track microburst" moved through parts of the city. While they released their survey results last week, they've illustrated the areas of Austin hardest hit with a new map (below).

    AUSTIN (KXAN) - May was Austin's first wetter than normal month since July 2024. As we head through the beginning of our third wettest month of the year, June, will our fortunes continue? Soggy MayMay was far from typical, it was wet then it was record hot, but it ended wet enough to make up for the dry spell in the middle. We ended up with a rainfall surplus to break a 9-month dry spell.

    AUSTIN (KXAN) - Earlier on Wednesday, many of our KXAN viewers sent us pictures and videos asking about a cloud that looked a little suspicious, especially with severe weather looming in the Central Texas area. The photos and reports were sent in from viewers in parts of Williamson County on what may have looked like a funnel cloud rotation. However, our Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin explained it wasn't that at all.
