The tornado watch has been issued for Central Texas until 10 p.m.
Much of the area has been upgraded from enhanced for moderate risk for severe weather for the Centralarea for Monday, March 21.

Storms should fire along a dry line in the TX Hill Country near Hwy-281, moving east with tornado & hail threat approaching I-35 by 4-7 p.m. The storms will move east, maintaining or increasing in intensity across our eastern counties and along the coastal plain.
