A storm-weary Central Texas could again be under threat for severe thunderstorms this afternoon potentially bringing renewed risks of hail, strong wind gusts, and flooding, but there’s a silver-lining today! Although we’re under threat of severe storms, the latest forecast model data is suggesting that the vast majority of, if not ALL of, the storms may miss our area to the south and east, we’re keeping today as a First Alert Weather Day since storms remain possible near and especially east of I-35 this afternoon. The strongest storms today, should they form, may bring us large hail and strong wind gusts, but heavy downpours are again possible so flash flooding remains a concern too. A Flood Watch remains in place from Bell County and McLennan County east of the I-35 corridor through 7 PM today as thunderstorms could spark renewed flooding. As far as the severe storm risk goes, cities and towns near and east of I-35 are under a level 2 of 5 severe storm risk, the slight category, but parts of Milam, Robertson, and Leon County are under a level 3 of 5 enhanced severe storm risk. Today’s best storm chances arrive as early as 11 AM, but the best storm chances will likely be after 2 PM. Nearly all of the storms today should be confined near and east of I-35 should they even move through. Again, forecast model data is trending toward keeping the worst of the storms just barely out of our area. Rain chances today are near 40% with highs reaching the upper 70s and low 80s and any storms that form should exit before sunset tonight.
