Severe Storms Subside as Lingering Rain Clears Central Texas After a stormy Mother’s Day evening across Central Texas, the region is now experiencing a quieter start to the workweek on Monday. A widespread complex of thunderstorms moved through Sunday evening and overnight, with some communities facing strong to severe weather. Reports of damaging winds and large hail were recorded as the storm line pushed eastward. In several areas, hail reached golf ball size, while the strongest storms produced wind gusts between 60 and 70 mph. Heavy rainfall accompanied the storms, leading to minor street flooding and reduced visibility in certain locations. Fortunately, the severe weather threat has completely ended for all of Central Texas. Lingering rain will continue overnight into the early morning hours, particularly east of Interstate 35. However, by sunrise on Monday, rain chances are expected to diminish, with skies gradually clearing from west to east. The aftermath of the storm system has set the stage for a pleasant stretch of weather to begin the week. Monday afternoon will feature lower humidity, mostly sunny skies, and temperatures slightly cooler than average for mid-May. Afternoon highs are projected to reach the low 80s across much of the Austin metro and surrounding areas. The warming trend resumes by Tuesday, though conditions will remain comfortable overall. High temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-80s, with a mix of sunshine and dry weather continuing across the region. As the workweek progresses, temperatures will continue to rise. By Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, many areas are anticipated to return to the upper 80s and low 90s during afternoon hours.#austin #interstate_35 #central_texas #mother_s_day #kvue_weather_team
Severe Thunderstorms Expected Across Midwest, Plains, and East Through Saturday Severe thunderstorms, including tornadoes, are forecast to impact parts of the Plains, Midwest, and East through Saturday, marking another active weather period in March and setting the stage for potentially dangerous conditions in April. The storm system is expected to bring scattered severe thunderstorms from the Southern Great Lakes into the Central and Southern Plains, with hail and strong wind gusts possible through the overnight hours. The primary area of concern spans parts of the central and southern Plains, from north Texas to western Missouri, where tornadoes, large hail (potentially larger than golf balls), and destructive wind gusts up to 75 mph are anticipated. These storms are expected to develop by late afternoon, growing into a line of thunderstorms by the evening and overnight hours. Early storms may feature significant hail before transitioning to tornadoes and damaging winds. The Interstate-35 corridor is expected to see storm activity during the late evening and overnight periods. In addition to the Plains, isolated severe storms are possible in the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic, with hail or strong wind gusts. The Midwest, including Illinois, Michigan, and northwest Ohio, faces threats of damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes during the afternoon and evening. The southern and central Plains, potentially extending as far north as the Great Lakes and east to the mid-Mississippi Valley, are also under watch for damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail throughout the afternoon and night. The threat of severe thunderstorms is expected to expand on Friday, with numerous storms both as discrete supercells and lines of storms.#national_weather_service #storm_prediction_center #interstate_35 #national_forecast_center #branch_county
Multiple rounds of severe storms expected in North Texas Severe weather is set to impact North Texas throughout the week, with multiple rounds of storms and showers forecasted from midweek into the weekend. The National Weather Service Fort Worth has warned of potential strong to severe storms each day, along with increasing chances of flooding as the weekend approaches. Election Day on Tuesday, March 3, will remain unaffected by the storm system, as weather conditions are expected to be sunny and warm with temperatures in the low 80s. The first significant storm activity is anticipated on Wednesday, March 4, when a cold front will arrive in the early morning hours and stall near the Interstate 20 corridor by the afternoon. Isolated showers and thunderstorms could develop ahead of the front, with scattered storms expected to form along and ahead of it by Wednesday afternoon. Storms later in the day may bring threats of large hail and damaging winds, with thunderstorms continuing overnight into Thursday, March 5. A brief break in storm activity is expected on Thursday, though scattered rain chances will persist. The National Weather Service notes that isolated strong to severe storms could occur in areas north of U.S. Route 377 and west of Interstate 35 during Thursday afternoon. Slight chances of showers will linger overnight into Friday, March 6. The next major round of storms is scheduled for Friday, March 6, with scattered storms expected in the morning and more widespread activity developing through the afternoon and evening. Strong to severe storms are possible during the mid and later parts of Friday. Storms will continue overnight into Saturday, March 7, with widespread activity anticipated through Saturday.#north_texas #national_weather_service_fort_worth #interstate_20 #us_route_377 #interstate_35
