We start out the day with showers thanks to a new system out of the Southwest, some of these showers will be heavy at times. Get ready for an off and on rainy day.
The HRRR is showing scattered rain and thunderstorms possible throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Here is the latest HRRR model (below), showing these scattered showers push off to our Northeast around 7PM.
The showers from this morning have all moved out. The sun will make a few appearances this afternoon and warm us up to around 72°F.
For this evening we should stay dry with temps dropping down to the mid 50s, leaving a nice evening for some Friday night plans!
A beautiful, sunny, warm, and breezy afternoon will give way to increasing clouds with showers and thunderstorms late tonight into tomorrow morning as a cold front swings through. Out ahead of, and behind this front, we will continue to see windy conditions, which is why the National Weather Service has placed us under a Wind Advisory until 1 am Friday. NWS:
If you’ve been avoiding mowing the lawn, or haven’t been able to due to the rain and storms over the weekend, now is your chance to catch up on some yard work.
We can expect high temperatures to reach the lower 80s today and tomorrow, which is around 10° above average for this time of year. We will also see some sunshine, adding to the beautiful spring weather.
It is an absolutely beautiful afternoon out there today! As you can see in the map below, most places in our region are in the mid and upper 70s with abundant sunshine. These conditions will continue into the evening with temperatures topping out right around 80 degrees. Skies will remain mainly clear overnight as an area of high pressure moves into the region bringing light winds and near normal temperatures with lows near 50 degrees.
If you were woken up by some rumbles of thunder earlier this morning, you weren’t alone. Our greatest chance of rain has already moved through the area as we were all getting up for the start to our day.
The High Resolution Rapid Refresh model below gives us some art. You can see that it’s pretty hot, and most runs are just like this.
Rounds of non-severe showers and possibly storms continue most of the day. A couple HRRR runs throw some stronger storms into both counties around 4pm. Not totally sold on that right now.
Editor’s Note: welcome Sheyenne, Intern 6.0. She is one of four of the new group of interns. She drew a tough assignment today. Handled it great!
Currently, a low pressure system is beginning to work its way through Texas. This will enter our region, bringing rain and thunderstorms Monday.
Editor’s Note: NWS published this in their 6pm AFT Sunday Evening…
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES TONIGHT WILL BE AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN REMNANTS OF THE TX/LA MCS MAY SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD. RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN HIGH MUCH OF MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER TX MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES. SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES BUT SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED AS INSTABILITIES SHOULD BE LOWER.
Weather models are lighting up with storms overnight tonight through Sunday. Timing, and how bad they may be, ↓↓↓↓.
Timing and model runs vary. No real ETAs or time-specific details available. Rain and storms will come in irregular waves.
EDITORS NOTE: This is Marti’s last blog for us as an intern. She has really grown as a writer and we are very proud of her work. Best of luck, Marti!
If you enjoy warm and sunny, then soak up the sunshine while we’ve got it! Starting tonight we’ll be rain-soaked until Tuesday.
