Numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected today and tonight across much of the area. Some of these storms could produce locally heavy rainfall as well as become severe. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for portions of the eastern Hill Country and Austin metro area, where between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall are forecast and isolated higher amounts up to 5 inches. These isolated higher amounts of rainfall may produce localized flash flooding. Particular areas of concern are smaller creeks and streams that respond faster to heavy rain and low-water crossings. Outside of the watch area, generally 1/2 to 2 inches of rainfall is forecast. There is also a slight risk some storms could become severe, with damaging wind gusts and hail the primary threat. Isolated tornadoes can not be ruled out. The greatest threat for severe storms will occur in the morning and afternoon across the Rio Grande and Hill Country, this afternoon and evening across the I-35 corridor, and this evening and overnight across the Coastal Prairies. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. No hazardous weather is expected at this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter are encourage to submit rainfall and severe weather reports.
