Austin weather: Severe weather ahead

FOX 7 Austin meteorologist Zack Shields is monitoring some severe weather heading our way tonight and tomorrow.

The day is here when we have the potential of seeing the total solar eclipse. In Austin we will see totality at 1:37 p.m.

The question is, will we see enough breaks in the clouds to see it? Right now there is only a 10% we will experience the clouds breaking up to see a great view of the eclipse.

Not only is the FOX 7 Austin Weather team keeping track of the cloud  cover but also a slight risk of severe weather late in the day between 3 and 7 .p.m. This is a preview of what is yet to come for Tuesday and early Wednesday.
