CENTRAL TEXAS — A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING is in effect for far northern Hill County (and Johnson County) until 6pm Sunday evening. The main part of this thunderstorm is passing into Cleburne and nearly I-35W.
A FLOOD ADVISORY is in effect for Hamilton and western Bosque Counties until 6pm Sunday evening. Doppler radar estimates about 2.5" of rain fell within the thunderstorm over the Hamilton area and may lead to minor flooding in the vicinity. this mean flood prone and poor drainage areas may be briefly flooded this evening.
Thunderstorms between Meridian, Hamilton, Goldthwaite, and San Saba have been heavy rain makers to go with the lightning and gusty winds. We're monitoring how these storms are progressing and developing from the 25 News Weather Center. So far, the storms appear to be hovering in these western and northwestern Counties.
There is a chance for showers and thunderstorms anywhere along and west of I-35 between now and 11pm tonight.
High humidity is driving the thunderstorms to form in the first place, but will quickly run out of steam once the sun goes down, and by 10pm or 11pm all the rain will end tonight. The humidity, however, will still be in place Monday and could lead to a few light rain showers in the morning, and another chance for isolated thunderstorms to pop up in the afternoon. While the cold front isn't quite over central Texas, it's close enough to give our region a chance for these showers both Monday and Tuesday.
High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-90s all this week with a few locations potentially seeing high temps as low as 92 degrees Monday and Tuesday as the cold front barely skirts by our northern communities.
