Strong storms more likely Thursday
AUSTIN, Texas — We're tracking the potential for strong storms, mainly in the Austin metro and points north, for Wednesday evening as well as Thursday afternoon and evening. Thursday's threat looks to be somewhat more substantial, but there are mitigating factors. Here's the latest.While most of Central Texas is under a 1 out of 5"marginal" risk for severe weather, the Austin metro and points to the northeast are under a 2 out of 5"slight" risk.
The threats for Wednesday and Thursday are the same. However, it's important to note that this threat is"conditional," which means that these storms may wind up not firing up at all, due to what's called a"capping" in the atmosphere. This is why the futurecasts do not show much popping up.
We're looking between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. for the timing of any storm that pops up though. As for threat levels, most of the area is in the aforementioned"slight" risk, but the Austin metro and points north are in the"enhanced" risk for severe weather.All modes are possible, with very large hail and damaging winds being the main threats, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
