Tropical Storm Bill- heading straight to Austin!

The Atlantic Basin's second named storm of the season was designated "Bill" Monday evening by the National Hurricane Center and made landfall along the Texas coast late Tuesday morning.
The KVUE Storm Team began tracking a tropical wave, the earliest stage of a tropical cyclone, near the Honduras coast and moving toward Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula late last week. The wave crossed over Belize and the peninsula and started to become organized in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tropical Storm Bill made landfall over Matagorda Island Tuesday, hammering the Texas coastline with strong winds and drenching downpours. As of Tuesday afternoon, the hardest hit locations have been along the Bolivar Peninsula, which has experienced flooding and a nearly three-foot storm surge at Port Lavaca.
The center of Bill will be near Austin Tuesday night with heavy rain and the strongest winds on the east side of the storm. Wind gusts could be 50 mph or more at times in Fayette, Caldwell, Lee, Bastrop and Milam counties. Since the center of the storm will be along I-35, areas east of the interstate could see an isolated tornado or two. Tornadoes produced by tropical systems tend to be brief and weak, but can still cause damage.
A Tropical Storm Warning for Fayette County at 10:15 p.m. Monday, stating that "tropical storm wind conditions are expected somewhere within this area and within the next 36 hours."
A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Gillespie, Hays, Llano, Travis and Williamson Counties until Thursday afternoon.
A Tornado Watch is in effect for Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lampasas, Milam, Travis and Williamson Counties until 12 a.m. Wednesday.
Rain will be heaviest Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Areas east of Austin could get five to eight inches of rain, causing flash flooding. The Austin metro region could receive two to four inches of rain, with the Hill Country getting even less.
