NEW: National Hurricane Center now give 10% odds of tropical development to our developing trough once it enters the Gulf. Right now we've got 10-20% rain chances in Central Texas Friday night-Sunday, but we'll keep watching this should further development materialize. #KXAN

Today makes for our third triple digit day of the year (so far). An average year in Austin sees 29 triple digit days with the most usually coming in August. #KXAN #ATXWX

After our first triple digit day since mid-May, our attention turns to rain chances. Here's a look at three days of scattered showers and storms ahead. -Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin #KXAN #ATXWX
90s for most, but triple digits for some on Thursday. Nothing that unusual about this for late July, but potentially Austin's first triple digit day since mid-May! #KXAN #ATXWX

After 70 days without triple digits in Austin, we may break streak on Thursday. Here's a look at the chances for rain that may follow the heat. -Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin #KXAN #ATXWX
70 days since our last triple digit day in Austin... #KXAN #ATXWX

Hot and dry for now, but rain chances are up slightly this weekend. Here's a look at where our next system is coming from. -Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin #KXAN #ATXWX
First hotter than normal high temperature of July...uh oh #KXAN #ATXWX

Beautiful evening for some soccer tricks at Q2 Stadium! The MLS All-Star Skills Challenge starts tonight at 8 p.m. It'll be warm in the upper 80s, but we've sure had hotter than this in July! #KXAN #ATXWX

Still no triple digits this month. The last time we went a whole July without triple digits was 2010...15 years ago. #KXAN #ATXWX

More sun means more heat over the coming days. Here's a look at some of the hottest temperatures we've had this month set to arrive later this week. -Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin #KXAN #ATXWX

Clouds to sunshine for several days, but there's a slim chance of rain on Friday. Here's a look at where that rain could come from if it gets here. -Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin #KXAN #ATXWX
A lingering cluster of storms heading for the Hill Country has prompted NWS to extend the Flood Watch by a few hours. Now expected to end Wednesday at 2 a.m. with the potential for locally heavy rain in the Hill Country between now and then. #KXAN #ATXWX

High pressure gradually building in will take away rain chances and bring warmer temperatures. Here's a look at the much-needed changes on the way. -Chief Meteorologist Nick Bannin #KXAN #ATXWX
This is how it looked when LCRA opened the flood gates at Lake Buchanan for the first time since 2019. (🎥: LCRA)
