AUSTIN (KXAN) — Severe storms are moving across Central Texas. The main concerns Friday evening are large hail and damaging winds. Isolated tornadoes are also possible.

Scattered storms have already started developing in parts of the Hill Country. Isolated to scattered storms will continue developing as we head into the evening getting roughly 40% of Central Texas rain.

The southeastward movement of storms has increased the chances for rain in at least part of the Austin Metro Counties.

Tennis ball-sized hail has already been reported between Llano and Burnet.
