National Weather Force Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 10pm for Central Texas.
Severe storms are expected to pop off along the dryline and east of an Albany to San Angelo to Sonora line. The area is already quite hot, with plenty of moisture, instability, and vertical shear to create an unstable atmosphere for severe thunderstorms. These storms will be capable of producing large hail and damaging winds. The tornado risk is very low. These storms will move from west to east along the area ahead of the dryline. Further development will also be possible along outflow boundaries. Later this evening, the storms will diminish as the environment loses the right ingredients for severe storms.
Stay tuned for more updates.
