WATCH: Hail blankets the ground like snow in parts of Central Texas
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Winter weather in the spring? Not so much.
As scattered storms moved into the Central Texas area Wednesday afternoon, KXAN viewers sent in photos and videos of what looked like snow on the ground — only it wasn’t snow. It was hail.
KXAN viewer Carrie Turlington sent in the video below of hail near Hamilton Pool Road.
The First Warning Weather team says storms will clear late evening and not return for the rest of the week. Sunshine and mid-70s can be expected Thursday ahead of warmer and more humid weather heading into the weekend.
