on the western edge of the severe weather risk. Going with slight
chance to chance Pops across much of the area tonight. Also, a
severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 10 PM for southern
and southeast parts of West Central Texas.

surface warm/moist sector setting will being another chance of
thunderstorms Wednesday. The combination of moderate instability
and good vertical wind shear will result in a few storms possibly
being severe across mainly the Big Country Wednesday afternoon.
The main hazards will be large hail and damaging winds. Will go
with slight chance to chance Pops across much of the area. Another
very warm day with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
