Austin, Texas – A stretch of warm, humid weather across Central Texas will give way to scattered thunderstorms beginning Tuesday, with cities along the I-35 corridor including Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels advised to prepare for sudden downpours.
According to the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office, overnight lows will remain in the 60s and 70s through Monday, with mostly cloudy skies dominating the region. Minimal impacts are expected this weekend, but that changes early next week as storm chances ramp up on Tuesday and Wednesday. The greatest risks will be brief heavy rain and lightning, especially for morning and evening commuters along I-35, US 281, and I-10.
Residents in Kerrville, Del Rio, and Eagle Pass should watch for changing weather late Monday, with rain possible by sunrise Tuesday. School districts and businesses are encouraged to monitor local alerts and review lightning safety plans. Those planning outdoor activities or travel should charge devices, secure loose items, and avoid flooded roadways during storms.
This shift marks the first significant rain event for the region in several weeks. More updates and possible advisories are expected as the weather pattern develops; stay tuned for the latest details through Wednesday.
