Austin, TX – A large line of storms is moving east across South Central Texas Sunday evening, bringing heavy rain, frequent lightning, and hazardous driving conditions along the US-77 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio office, a 5:30 PM update shows storms intensifying as they push east from areas near San Marcos, Gonzales, and La Grange toward College Station and the Houston metro. The system is adding to already wet conditions across the region.
Drivers along US-77 and nearby roadways should be alert for ponding water, reduced visibility, and sudden slowdowns. Officials warn that even brief heavy downpours could lead to slick roads and localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas.
Communities including Austin (Travis County), San Marcos (Hays County), and Gonzales (Gonzales County) are seeing impacts, with the storm line expected to continue shifting east through the evening hours.
The heaviest activity appears concentrated east of Interstate 35, but additional scattered storms remain possible behind the main line. Lightning has been frequent within stronger cells, posing an added risk for those outdoors.
Residents are urged to delay travel if possible and never drive through water-covered roads.
