Narrative:

The first officer was the PF. The WX was severe thunderstorms. We were trying to find a way around them different than previously chosen. The autoplt was on and 5000 ft was selected. At 5600 ft we both noticed the altitude did not capture. The first officer immediately started back to 5000 ft. The ATC controller advised we were assigned 5000 ft. We informed him we were correcting. He said, 'no problem' and gave us the altimeter setting. No other aircraft were involved.
