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
