This hazardous weather outlook is for south central texas.
Day one...today and tonight.
Hurricane dolly will make landfall this afternoon near and just north of Brownsville. Dolly is then forecast to move west northwest across the lower Rio Grande valley this afternoon and evening...and to northeast Mexico
Tonight and Thursday.
Showers and thunderstorms will increase this afternoon and tonight as the outer bands of dolly move westward across the area. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds around 30 to 35 mph can be expected mainly along and to the south of a line from Giddings and Schulenburg to near new Braunfels and san Antonio...then west to near Uvalde and Del Rio. This thunderstorm activity could move further north to the Austin area and parts of the hill country later this afternoon and during the evening hours today. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible today. Rain that is heavy at times could cause some flooding on low lying streets and roads or at low water crossings that are easily subject to flooding.
In addition...a tornado watch has been issued through 7 pm CDT today for Lavaca...Dewitt...Gonzales...Karnes... and Wilson counties. As thunderstorms on some of the stronger outer bands of dolly sweep across these counties...isolated tornadoes...hail to one half of an inch in diameter and strong...damaging winds are possible.
