The National Service issued a notice that there is a marginal risk for the storms to develop between 8 p.m. and 4 p.m. for areas “generally near and east of I-35 and I-37.” Although the risk is marginal, NWS said that any severe storms that do develop will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall, large hail and damaging wind gusts.

The precipitation chance will persist throughout the week to Thursday, after which sunny chances are currently forecasted for the weekend.
