Morning storms have largely cleared the area, but there’s still a good chance for storms to redevelop and move through late today and tonight. Today is a First Alert Weather Day and you should stay weather aware for impacts to your outdoor Memorial Day Forecast!

All severe weather hazards are possible with Memorial Day’s storms with the primary severe weather risk stemming from large hail and strong wind gusts.

The afternoon storms have the best chance for producing very large hail. They’ll likely also produce gusty winds and very heavy rain too. As far as tornadoes go, it’s possible! Any storms that catch remnant boundaries left over from earlier thunderstorms could produce a quick spin-up tornado.

We’re expecting 1″ to 3″ on a widespread basis, with isolated totals from downpours reaching nearly a half-foot in spots!(KWTX, NWS Fort Worth)

A Flood Watch is now in effect through Tuesday morning for the majority of the area. Lampasas, Hamilton, Mills, and San Saba County are excluded from the flood watch. Morning rainfall totals between 1″ and 2″ were tallied near and east of I-35, and the next round of rain could drop another 1″ to 2″+ leading to a flash flooding chance.

Although we’re expecting a decent bit of dry time (for some less than others, yes) mid- afternoon hours, the morning storms are NOT the only chance for storms today. Today’s best severe weather chances won’t actually arrive until the late-afternoon and evening hours!

Although morning rain kicked instability out and cooled our temperatures off, we’re starting to see the return of some peeks of sunshine west of I-35 and the atmosphere is in the process of recovering the lost instability.

A stalled boundary left in place from the morning storms stretching westward into West Texas may be the flash point for more storms to form this afternoon. Initially, these isolated storms firing up early-to-mid afternoon may start out of our area, but those storms may then gradually push through mid-to-late afternoon and into the early evening hours.

Although storms from the morning hours may depart Central Texas mid-to-late morning leaving... — Although storms from the morning hours may depart Central Texas mid-to-late morning leaving many dry, another round of BIG storms will push in late this afternoon and into the night tonight! All severe weather hazards are possible with these storms, but the highest severe risk stems from flash flooding and very large hail.(KWTX)

Exactly how widespread these storms are and how strong they may be depends on how much energy the atmosphere can recover, but it’s looking like late-day storms should have ample instability to feed from. Storms firing up likely out of our area mid-afternoon will gradually push in and will be quite strong during the late-afternoon and evening hours. Those afternoon and evening storms carry with them the primary severe weather risk of the day with very large hail being the main concern, but they’ll likely transition more to a wind gust threat after sunset.

Afternoon and evening storms should gradually depart from northwest to southeast shortly after sunset tonight. We’ll likely be mostly dry by midnight, but continued storm chances are around tomorrow and later this week too.
