More Severe Storms Forecast for Central Texas After Last Week’s Destructive Weather

Severe storms are anticipated in Central Texas, prompting the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue a warning for late Tuesday night and the early hours of Wednesday morning. An advisory has been issued in the wake of a week marked by severe weather conditions, resulting in one fatality and leaving tens of thousands without power in the Austin region.

Storm activity is anticipated to commence Tuesday afternoon in Llano and Burnet counties, as squall lines develop and progress southward through the Hill Country towards Austin. Severe storms are expected to deliver large hail, damaging winds, and significant rainfall.

The region is expected to experience a high temperature of 93 degrees on Tuesday, with a decrease to 76 degrees by evening. According to AccuWeather, temperatures on Wednesday are projected to fluctuate between 90 and 75 degrees.

In a developing weather situation, the forecasted storms are set to arrive less than a week following a severe weather system that caused extensive damage across Central Texas. A severe weather system caused significant damage in Austin, bringing down power lines, snapping tree limbs, and disrupting essential services throughout the area. Austin Energy announced that over 72,000 customers experienced power outages at the peak of the disruptions.

Austin Energy announced on Monday through social media that power has been completely restored following significant repair efforts. Significant locations including the Texas Capitol rotunda, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and the University of Texas’ Disch-Falk Field have reported noticeable storm damage.

The National Weather Service has classified the impending storm threat as a level two on a scale of five, advising residents to stay vigilant and ready for potential shifts in weather conditions.
