AUSTIN, Texas — Happy Thursday!
We didn't actually hit our warmest day of 2024 yesterday, as Mexico's agricultural burning and cloud coverage prevented temperatures from getting warm enough to reach that mark. However, we are holding that possibility for Thursday afternoon with highs in the lower 90s.
There is a caveat, as we have a conditional risk for severe weather. Most of the KVUE area is now under that 3 out of 5 "enhanced" risk, with hail and damaging winds being the main threats. A tornado can't be ruled out, but the chances of that are very low.
As we head into the weekend, we have better storm chances Saturday and Sunday and even into Monday morning, as well, before we dry out for most of next week.
