This is a TEST of the Longhorn Alert emergency notification system. Alerts are sent for campus emergencies or operations disruptions.

We are tracking clusters of showers and thunderstorms moving northeast into the I-35 corridor over the next couple of hours.

We’re highlighting Longhorn Alert—UT Austin’s emergency notification system. In an emergency or incident, Longhorn Alerts provide timely information and clear instructions. Read carefully. Act quickly. Stay safe. #UTReady #LonghornAlert

Dense Fog Advisory continues over South-Central Texas through 10 AM this morning. Visibilities will remain as low as near zero to 1/4 of a mile. Fog improves mid to late morning. If driving, slow down, use your low beam headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you. #txwx

Stay weather aware this weekend, especially if your plans include being outdoors. Scattered showers and storms will impact the area today into Sunday with the potential for strong to severe storms and pockets of heavy rainfall. Remember: When thunder roars, go indoors! #txwx

Today's risk for severe weather has shifted a little more north, mainly Waco northward. We'll have the potential for showers and perhaps a few rumbles of thunder, at around 20 to 30% chance. Confidence is much higher for locally heavy rainfall and severe potential Saturday. #txwx

If isolated thunderstorms develop later today, storms may be strong to severe. Higher confidence for showers and thunderstorms is seen Saturday and Saturday night along with the potential for locally heavy rain during this time. Have a way to receive warning information! #txwx
