Austin on Alert for Unsettled Weather With Showers, Thunderstorms in the Forecast
Austin residents are bracing for a mixed bag of weather, with the National Weather Service predicting a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms later today, climbing to a 50 percent chance come evening. The forecast, posted on the National Weather Service website, also gives a heads up about thunderstorms mainly after 7 pm, highlighting a low around 66 and potential new rainfall amounts that could range up to a quarter of an inch, barring any more intense thunderstorm activity.
According to reporting from KXAN, the upcoming week in Austin will predominantly swing between showers and bursts of sun, but not before Mother’s Day weekend takes a drench, as a high chance of showers and thunderstorms is forecast, which won’t be an all-day occurrence however, it looks like the area will be subjected to rain and thunderstorms at varying times. The Storm Prediction Center is alerting residents to a Marginal risk of severe thunderstorms, carrying threats that include hail up to 1" in diameter.
Moving into the new week, Monday’s weather seems to up the ante with a 40 percent chance of severe thunderstorms, as detailed by the National Weather Service's recent update; predictions for heavy downpours and severe weather accompanies this forecast, with potential hail 2" in diameter and gusts surpassing 65 mph. Come Tuesday, Austinites can look forward to sunshine with an expected leap in temperatures towards the 90-degree mark.
Midweek weather reports from both agencies mention a continuation of the stormy pattern; Wednesday holds a 30 percent chance of showers, while Thursday bumps that probability to 50 percent, and brings with it the possibility of showers and thunderstorms that could result in "heavy rainfall" per the National Weather Service, some areas might still be reeling from the near-record breaking 6.25" hailstone reported in Johnson City by KXAN, just shy of the largest ever documented in the state. The week, however, is expected to close on a dry note with sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s.
