## Resource

Central Texas, brace for severe storms on Sunday evening, with a Weather Impact Alert in effect. A cold front will bring strong winds, hail, and heavy rain, potentially causing minor flooding. The Storm Prediction Center has designated much of the zone, including Austin, a level two risk. Most of Mothers Day will be dry, with sunshine and highs in the upper eighties to low nineties. Storms will first hit the Hill Country, then move east into Austin and the I-thirty-five corridor, clearing out by midnight. Expect beneficial rain, with widespread amounts of a quarter inch to one inch, and pockets up to one or two inches. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
