Austin weather: Another chance of rain tonight

An outflow boundary, rain and clouds are slowing down the warm-up but, as Leslie London shows us, it's still going to be hot this afternoon.

Some minor relief is on the way today with a cluster of storms moving in from North Texas. 

By the time it gets here, the storms will be much weaker. 

There is a 30 to 50% chance you could see some measurable rain from mid-morning to early afternoon.

Austin weather: Spotty storms possible

Storms in North Texas could bring temperatures down a little bit on Wednesday, and we could see some isolated storms. Zack Shields has details in his full forecast.

The outflow boundary, rain and clouds will slow down the warm-up, so highs will be closer to seasonal levels and heat indices will stay below heat advisory status. 

Don't get used to this relief because it goes away and turning hotter this weekend.
