The shadows of the Great American Eclipse may have barely faded, but Austin residents are now facing potential severe downpours and thunderstorms through Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) for Austin and San Antonio. The disappointment brought about by a mostly cloudy sky disrupting the eclipse view further dampened by forecasts predicting possible severe storms, predominantly in the far northeastern areas during the afternoon and evening.
With multiple bouts of severe showers set to make their way through a considerable part of Texas including Austin, residents are warned to remain vigilant. The NWS urges locals to “monitor future forecasts” for up-to-the-minute information. The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued an advisory, especially for an expected “active severe weather pattern” that could proceed through this week. With the possibility of hazardous road conditions, people are advised to stay updated and ready.
Beyond the imminent inclement climate, the aftermath of the eclipse might have an additional impact on road conditions. While these widespread weather disturbances may escalate the severity and number
of potential road hazards over the next few days, the eclipse after-effects may also play a part, at the very least, through today.
Starting later in the day and persisting through the evening, the “severe storms” are expected to carry on for the next 24 hours. Regions that may bear the brunt of this turbulent weather system include the “northeast Hill Country and near to the northeast of the Austin metro”, as per the NWS. A further round of potential severe thunderstorms is likely on Tuesday, some may even be ongoing in the morning, another possibility later in the evening.
The paramount threat posed in these conditions is “large hail”, however, damaging wind gusts and even an isolated tornado are also possible outcomes, according to the most recent NWS update.
