Up to a quarter-inch of rain possible, forecasters say
Update 11:30 a.m.: Central Texas will see light to moderate showers today as a upper-level pressure system continues to make its way east.
An urban and small stream flood advisory for Travis and surrounding counties was issued ahead of the storms, National Weather Service meteorologist Cory VanPelt said. The advisory is in effect until 2 p.m., the service said.
“Runoff from this excessive rainfall will cause minor flooding … especially along small streams and near low water crossings,” the advisory said.
Areas that could be affected include the Anderson Mill, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Bastrop, Canyon Lake dam, Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, Elgin, Georgetown, Giddings and New Braunfels areas.
The region could see up to one-fourth inch of rain, VanPelt said.
By early afternoon, “we should see the sun move back in,” he said.
Posted 6:50 a.m.: Central Texas is in for mild temperatures today as an upper-level pressure system makes its way over the region.
Cloud cover will bring us lower than normal temperatures, with a high today of 78, the National Weather Service said.
We’ll also see a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, the service said. This morning, a broad area of storms moving at 20 mph could bring light to moderate showers, producing up to a half inch of rain, east of the Interstate 35 corridor.
Clouds should clear later today and make way for sunshine. The low tonight will be 60.
Overnight, the upper-level disturbance making its way over Central Texas from the northern plains doused Austin in light showers and thunderstorms.
The rain was part of an overall pattern of disturbances sweeping into the region this month, service meteorologist Chris Morris said. More than a half inch fell at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport yesterday, while one-third inch was recorded at Camp Mabry.
“For the rest of the week, we are expecting some pleasant weather,” Morris said late Monday.
We’ll be looking at highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s for the remainder of the week.
