Austin weather: Spotty rain and some minor heat relief Wednesday
Austin weather: Spotty storms possible
Storms in North Texas could bring temperatures down a little bit on Wednesday, and we could see some isolated storms. Zack Shields has details in his full forecast.
AUSTIN, Texas – Some minor relief is on the way today with a cluster of storms moving in from North Texas.
By the time it gets here, the storms will be much weaker.
There is a 30 to 50% chance you could see some measurable rain from mid-morning to early afternoon.
The outflow boundary, rain and clouds will slow down the warm-up, so highs will be closer to seasonal levels and heat indices will stay below heat advisory status.
Don’t get used to this relief because it goes away and turning hotter this weekend.

National Hockey League seeking expansion in Houston and Austin as potential targets
HOUSTON, Texas — The NHL is looking to start the expansion process in Texas, with Austin and Houston as potential targets, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The expansion news is being discussed at the NHL’s board of governors meeting, which is being held on Tuesday in New York.
The NHL went from 30 to 32 clubs when it added the Vegas Golden Knights (began play in 2017-18) and Seattle Kraken (debuted in 2021-22). The expansion fee for Vegas was $500 million and for Seattle was $650 million.
Earlier this month at the Stanley Cup Final, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman reiterated that the league has fielded calls from across North America from prospective cities and owners who are interested in bringing in an NHL franchise.

Bettman has previously told the board of governors that any potential expansion team would likely come with at least a $2 billion fee for it to make sense.
The league has seen record revenues this season — projected to be between $7.5 billion and $8 billion. The NHL salary cap is set at $104 million for the 2026-27 season, a $8.5 million increase from this past season.
