Slow moving t-storms will produce very heavy rain of 1-2" per hour across much of Travis & Williamson Cos into northern Hays Co in the near term. Frequent, dangerous lightning also likely. Avoid flood prone/low lying areas if out on the roads this afternoon.

While t-storm development is not certain between 6pm and Midnight tonight, any storm that does form will be capable of producing large hail and strong winds. Wouldn't change plans at this point, but recommend keeping an eye on things during this period.
