The Highland Lakes area can expect a brief bout of severe weather on Monday night as a cold front moves into south central Texas from the west.
The National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio issued a hazardous weather outlook for Llano, Burnet, Williamson, Blanco, Travis and surrounding counties for Monday night and Tuesday morning, Nov. 16-17.
“A potent upper level trough and Pacific cold front will move across south central Texas tonight into Tuesday,” the statement said. “A line of showers and thunderstorms along with discrete thunderstorms out ahead of the line are expected tonight...”
The outlook said that damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes will all be possible, and locations east of Interstate 35 may receive a quick one to two inches of rainfall.
“The threat for severe weather will come to an end by noon Tuesday,” the statement read.
Meteorologists forecast Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to be sunny with highs in the upper 60 degrees.
