Storm Team 3: Severe storms possible Today and Friday
Let's have a fabulous Thursday! StormTeam 3 will have back-to-back Weather Aware Days as our severe weather risk for today and Friday has increased. Two rounds of soaking rain and t-storms arrive in the afternoon and continue through the evening over those two days.
Our first round of rain arrives by mid-afternoon as storms begin to bubble up across VipirRadar. heavy rain and severe storms will continue increasing through the evening commute.
The biggest concern on Thursday will be widespread heavy rain. Rainfall rates will be in excess of 2″ per hour with some of the stronger cells that develop. Localized street flooding will be a possibility this evening.
As our severe weather risk has increased, the main severe threat will be damaging wind gusts of 40 -60+ mph. There is a low end risk of quick spin-up tornadoes.
Be sure to pack your patience this evening as rain will be blinding at times and take it slow. If you don't HAVE to be on the road this evening, I recommend waiting until the storms have passed.
Friday's storms will be moving through the area ahead and along a cold front. It will be a breezy day even outside rain showers and storms. Heavy rain threat continues with the possibility of scattered severe storms
Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will again be the main threat. Hail and isolated spin-up tornadoes are possible. The low end tornado risk continues tomorrow.
Storms on Friday will begin to move in from the west around the mid afternoon hours and will continue through the evening.
It is a good idea to think about what you would do in the event that a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is issued for your area. Have a plan to get indoors and to the lowest level of a sturdy structure away from windows and doors.
You also need a reliable way to receive critical weather alerts. A NOAA Weather Radio is a great tool to have in your home or place of work. They are dependable, even when the power and cellular service may be disrupted.
Another great tool to have ready is the WSAV Weather NOW app which can receive weather alerts directly to your mobile device anywhere you are. It is free and is available in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Storm Team 3 will have you covered as conditions change, stay tuned for the latest forecast.

Storm Team 3: Hot & humid, Sea breeze storms continue
Good morning – StormTeam 3 Meteorologist Alysa Carsley here – let's have a fabulous Friday! More of the same rinse and repeat pattern continues today and through Father's Day weekend. Scattered storms will develop across the coast first and push west of I-95 with the sea breeze. Some storms could become strong with gusty wind and heavy rain. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Heat index values will be over 100°F at times due to very high humidity levels. Rain tapers off every night. For Father's Day weekend – While a slight chance of rain will be possible both weekend mornings, the highest chance of rain continues to be through the afternoon and evening. The best time to celebrate dad will be in the morning part of the day – not only will it be drier, it is also the 'coolest' part of the day compared to the afternoon. Highs remain in the lower 90s. Be sure to keep an eye to the sky while staying hydrated if you have any outdoor plans over the weekend. By early next week, rain chances begin to back off just a bit with only isolated showers and storms each day. This will lead to sizzling temperatures in the mid 90s and humidity pushing the heat index to 105°F and higher each day. Heat advisories might be needed by the end of the week.

NOAA Weather Radio down for a couple of days. Here's how to keep on top of Central Texas weather
AUSTIN (KXAN) — It acts like a radio station, but it doesn't play music. Instead, NOAA Weather Radio dispenses daily weather information including current conditions, local forecasts and weather synopses. It also sends out weather alerts in the event of a storm. From now through Wednesday the NOAA Weather Radio serving the Austin/San Antonio area will be off the air because it's doing a software update to the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System, or AWIPS. This will happen from June 9-11, and people can stay weather-aware during this time is to keep up with KXAN. AWIPS is used by meteorologists at the National Weather Service to communicate and display meteorological data that assists forecasters to make accurate predictions of the weather and to dispense rapid warnings. The updates being done early this week are to fix those pesky bugs that sometimes affect computers, add new features, and infrastructure improvements that allow the system to do those accurate forecasts. Why you should get a weather radio So, how can you still get those reliable messages from the National Weather Service? Forecast operations will be handled during these three days by the Corpus Christi National Weather Service office. This is being done to minimize any possible service interruptions. More importantly, it won't affect how you get important weather information from the KXAN First Warning Weather Team. There are no interruptions that affect how we impart weather information to you. You can still rely on our team of meteorologists to give you accurate forecasts and any advisories, watches and/or warnings during these times since we are expecting a few days of showers and thunderstorms. And, as always, our KXAN Weather App is always a source of weather information should you need it during times when are not doing on-air weathercasts. It and include hourly and 7-day forecasts, plus radar and links to other weather resources on our site. The Austin/San Antonio weather service office itself will remain open and staffed so they will continue taking partner and public phone calls and perform any additional functions that can be completed without AWIPS.
