The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio confirmed a tornado warning for northwest Bexar County, reporting a confirmed tornado crossing I-10 between The Dominion and Shavano Park neighborhoods.
The weather service said the storm was moving northeast and urged residents in its path to seek shelter immediately.
Tomasco said other storms were producing areas of rotation just south of the Hill Country as of Wednesday morning, moving north and northwest, and warned those storms were worth monitoring for additional tornado activity.
The tornado comes amid a period of severe weather across Central Texas, with heavy rain and flash flooding also affecting the region.
