Austin weather: Wet weekend ahead

Fox 7 Austin weather with meteorologist Adam Leroy. We had a really nice day. Already starting to see a little bit more cloud cover. A little bit of sprinkles here and there for your Saturday, but then Sunday, that's when we have a boundary that's going to be coming through and be bringing us some strong to even severe storms. We'll take a closer look in just a bit, but here's a look at our Hyatt Regency Sky Camera over downtown Austin. We're 73. I'm still not used to it getting dark early, but I'm going to have to get used to it. We're 67 in Leander, zooming out a little bit. 69 over in Burnet. 69 also in Rockdale. So now that the sun's gone down, we're going to have a little bit of a look at our high-end Regency sky camera. It's cooling off and it's going to continue to do so by the time we wake up tomorrow morning. Looks like we're going to be in the 50s and it's going to be very cloudy tomorrow morning. In fact, it's going to be cloudy throughout the day with some sprinkles here and there. It's getting drier and drier for Saturday, but wetter and wetter is what we're seeing on those models on Sunday. So let's play it out. This is for Saturday morning, as I said, cloud cover, a few little sprinkles here and there. Can't completely rule out an isolated storm, but I'm thinking it's mostly just going to be some rainfall. So if you have any outdoor plans, Saturday is going to be the better one to get out there. And then Saturday night, maybe a couple of storms, you can already see things are starting to change, but it's really not until Sunday morning. You can see this is right around six in the morning, those showers and those storms moving in, heavy downpours, gusty winds possible. and then they're going to continue to sag down to the south and to the east and as they push to the east it does look like they could intensify getting a little bit stronger and that's where we have the highest risk for some severe weather. It's a low threat but as I always say low threat does not mean no threat and I'll be here keeping a very close eye on this Sunday morning. So it doesn't include all of Travis County just barely to the south and to the east. So just make sure that you are staying weather aware. And this has shifted out of our area, which is a little bit Surprising since we're trending wetter. Just yesterday, there was that marginal risk for some localized flooding, but now it's outside of our viewing area. But I would not be surprised if they end up shifting it right back in because we've got a lot of rainfall to look forward to. Saturday, not a total washout, maybe some lucky spots, seeing about a third of an inch, if that. But then it'll start to accumulate big time on Sunday, where we could easily be seeing one to two inches plus in some spots. So here's a look at your seven-day forecast. I hope you enjoyed the sunshine these last couple of days because it's going to be very hard to come by these next couple of days and that cold front that's going to fire off the showers and storms is also going to be leaving us pretty chilly in the 50s for highs on your Monday. And then we'll slowly start to warm up a little bit from there back to the 70s by Thursday, Friday. But then we've got more showers and storms to look forward to.
