Storm clouds shroud an electrical storm of the coast of Byron Bay at night. Taken from the hinterland around Mullumbimby, early evening in Autumn as the changing sky dazzles with a natural light show of lightning bolts and billowing clouds dance in the sky for hours.

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — San Antonio might get by with no severe weather on Thursday, but the threat is still there. The Alamo City is currently at a Level 1 out of 5 risk, with other areas facing a greater risk of powerful thunderstorms.

The National Weather Service says areas including the Hill Country and the I-35 Corridor extending well into the Austin metro are at a higher risk for large hail, heavy rain, damaging winds and possible tornadoes. The Hill Country and Edwards Plateau are at a Level 2 out of 5 risk, while much of the I-35 Corridor is at a Level 3 out of 5 risk.

Driving the threat of powerful thunderstorms is the warmer temperatures now arriving, which could bring daytime highs toward the century mark on Thursday.
