Severe thunderstorm threat this afternoon and evening

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:00:33 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Storm Prediction Center continues to keep a watch on Central Texas with much of the area under a Slight risk (Category 2 of 5) for severe thunderstorms. Large hail will be the main risk but damaging straight line winds will also be possible. And, there will be a threat of an isolated tornado. We should always be prepared for these weather threats.The Storm Prediction Center is also suggesting that a weather watch is being considered for later this afternoon. What may deter or delay the development of thunderstorms is the cap as winds several thousand feet up are coming from the southwest, thus a warming wind.Severe risk for the afternoon and eveningThe flow off the Gulf has increased surface moisture reflected by noon dew points mostly in the middle/upper 60s to low/mid 70s. One of the weather features likely to influence the development of thunderstorms, the dryline, is out near Big Spring moving east. However, we have yet to see any rain/storms develop there....

“The world’s second military power”, as Russia had been referred to before it waged war in Ukraine, is reportedly suffering from a severe shortage of both lethal and non-lethal weapons, including drones and missiles. Under sanctions, when it is impossible to obtain arms components and military goods in the usual way, the aggressor is forced to rely on supplies from rogue countries and their accomplices. One of the main accomplices ensuring the supply of sanctioned goods to Russia is Armenia - writes James Wilson.The unholy alliance between Russia, Iran and Armenia emerged despite the focus on Western values declared by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. Actions speak louder than words: a number of easily verifiable facts unambiguously testify that Armenia serves as a major hub to supply sanctioned (including military) goods that support Russian aggression in Ukraine and provides the direct connection between Iran and Russia.Iran recognises Armenian security as its top priori...
