Multiple Rounds Of Severe Weather Beginning Sunday…

Good morning and happy Saturday, friends!  After a prolonged stretch of clouds, rain, drizzle, and fog, today will feature a good deal of sunshine and very pleasant conditions.  Unfortunately, the sunshine and pleasant weather won’t last long as storms and severe weather chances ramp up beginning Sunday, and continues through Monday.

A hot dome (high pressure ridge) will be centered over Texas and this will place our immediate region under a rather busy northwest flow.  Multiple disturbances (highlighted in blue below) will rotate northwest to southeast around the periphery of the Texas ridge.  Each disturbance will be capable of producing heavy rain and thunderstorms, including severe weather.

SundayDay Three Outlook (Monday)

MondayWe’ll begin the action late tonight/ Sunday morning (forecast radar below is a time stamp series from 7a to 12p Sunday) with the first in the expected series of thunderstorms rumbling in from the northwest.  

Moral of the story? Enjoy today’s sunshine, but get ready for more active weather in the coming days!

Turning Drier This Afternoon…

Screen Shot 2015-07-09 at 7.07.09 AMHighlights:

  • Wet start turns drier this afternoon
  • More sunshine going into the weekend, but we still have storm chances
  • Severe weather possible Sunday
  • Scattered storms continue next week

Scattered showers remain on the radar this morning, but drier air will work in from the west this afternoon and we may even see some late day sunshine!  While we can’t forecast dry weather this weekend, it won’t rain the entire time and periods of sunshine can also be expected.  That said, we’ll have to be on the look out for a couple waves of showers and thunderstorms- particularly Friday and again Sunday afternoon/ evening.  Those storms Sunday may reach strong to severe levels.  As of now, the most isolated coverage of storms looks to come Saturday.
