Central Texas weather: Severe storms subsides, clouds overnight

AUSTIN, Texas - A tornado warning has been issued for Milam County until 9:15 p.m. this evening.

Thunderstorms are expected to continue to try to form this evening before dissipating after sunset. 

The storms are fighting the cap over central Texas and are currently losing that fight. Any showers that have formed have pretty quickly fallen apart in the Austin viewing area, however farther north those storms have created havoc and will be more likely to become strong and severe. 

Counties to the north are also covered under a tornado watch which continues through 11 p.m. Central Texas, including Austin and the northern half of the FOX 7 Austin viewing area is in a slight risk for severe weather, specifically for large hail. That slight risk is expected to be paired down as the sun sets and the severe threat diminishes.
