Except for some locations in deep south Texas, our upper-level low was quite a disappointment for most of us, with rainfall totals generally under a tenth of an inch. We will try again tomorrow afternoon and evening as a cold front moves through, giving south-central Texas a good chance for some severe storms.

From the NWS: “A cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms Sunday evening and night. The Storm Prediction Center has issued Level 1-3 Risks for severe storms. The Austin area is in the Level 3 Risk. San Antonio is in the Level 2. Damaging wind gusts (possibly greater than 75 mph) and large hail are the main threats. Locally heavy rain is possible with isolated totals up to 4 inches. Storms could move into our northern counties by 6 pm.”

After the storms on Sunday night and early Monday morning, we will dry out for the rest of the week. The latest CPC outlooks continue to give us better than 50-50 odds for above normal precipitation through the 23rd.
