Several areas in Central Texas saw a few drops of rain at least. Unfortunately, Temple/Belton/Killeen was not included. Better luck tomorrow.

Bell County.

There's a line of showers moving in from the NW on a boundary that's ahead of a cool front. Looking more and more likely that some of us could see some showers. Keep your fingers crossed!!

This is the first, ever recorded, Tornado watch in Hawaii

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for Kauaʻi County, in effect through Tuesday morning.

The watch was issued today and may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes in and near the watch area. It does not mean a tornado has been sighted.

Residents should stay indoors, remain alert for threatening weather, and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Keep a phone charged and a battery-powered radio nearby.

If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, take cover immediately. Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. If you are outdoors or in a vehicle, move to the nearest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.

This watch is in addition to the Hurricane Warning, Flood Warning, and High Surf Warning already in effect for Kauaʻi.

For weather updates, call the National Weather Service automated weather line at 808-245-6001, or visit www.weather.gov/hawaii.

🌀 HURRICANE LOWELL — KAUAI UNDER A HURRICANE WARNING

Hurricane Lowell is taking aim at Kauai tonight, and this is a storm that deserves serious attention.

Lowell peaked as a Category 5 hurricane with winds near 160 mph before weakening. Even though it has weakened, it remains a powerful hurricane with a large area of dangerous weather.

🌧️ 10–18 inches of rain could fall, with locally higher amounts, creating a major risk for flash flooding and mudslides.

💨 70–85 mph wind gusts are possible, especially in exposed areas, along with widespread power outages and downed trees.

🌊 And the ocean will be extremely dangerous, with waves around 25 feet possible along exposed coastlines.

The center doesn't have to make a direct landfall for Kauai to take a serious hit. Flooding, mudslides, destructive winds and dangerous surf are the biggest concerns tonight.

If you're on Kauai, stay safe, stay off the roads during the worst conditions, and take local warnings seriously.
