The chance of scattered severe thunderstorms is increasing across parts of Central and South Texas on Friday evening. Two distinct rounds of storms are expected: one this evening and another one during the overnight hours.
First round of storms: For the evening round of storms, the area of greatest concern is right along the Interstate 35 corridor, including Round Rock, Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels and San Antonio.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along a stalled cold front just to the west of I-35. Storms are not expected to be widespread, so not everyone will experience severe weather. However, the storms that do develop could intensify quickly and produce damaging hail and wind gusts.
Storm chances along this particular front will be highest between 5 and 10 p.m. San Antonio’s chance of storms is about 30% during this time…
