According to the 6 News Weather Team, multiple rounds of severe storms are expected to make their way through Central Texas beginning late Wednesday afternoon. 

Some light showers can be expected in the morning hours of the day, but around 4 to 5 p.m. is when Central Texans really need to be weather aware as the chances for severe storms significantly increases. 

According to the 6 News Weather Team, the northern region of Central Texas appears to have an enhanced risk for severe weather on Wednesday. Areas south of Temple and Killeen are just one step below at a slight risk for severe weather. 

With the threat of severe weather comes the risk of damaging winds, hail and the possibility of tornadoes. As of the time this article was written, there were no immediate threats of severe weather. However, this can and is expected to change later in the day.
