Highlights:
A very active weather pattern will remain through the short-term. Overnight storms have exited to the southeast and we’re now dealing with dry weather and sunshine. A few storms could bubble up this afternoon in the very humid air mass, but the more widespread showers and thunderstorms will hold off until late tonight as another northwest to southeast moving complex rumbles in. Similar to early this morning, flash flooding will be a concern, along with the potential of damaging wind, and hail.
Perhaps more concerning is what we think will be a secondary thunderstorm complex Monday evening into Monday night. Furthermore, conditions appear to favor the threat of a couple super cells developing in advance of the big storm cluster. These individual super cells will have the potential of producing tornadoes and large hail. We’re then concerned of a widespread damaging wind threat with the large storm complex as it moves southeast. Torrential rains and flash flooding will also be a big concern.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue Tuesday, but there’s a light at the end of this wet tunnel by mid week. We forecast a few days of dry weather in the Wednesday through Saturday time period. As ridging expands, heat and humidity will build in a big time way. For those holding out for true summer heat, next weekend may be your time! That said, the long range pattern still supports a wetter/ cooler than normal regime quickly returning so enjoy!

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.
Sunday morning
Monday morning
Tuesday morning
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the region for a risk of severe weather both Sunday and Monday, and they mention large hail, widespread damaging wind potential, and isolated tornadoes- particularly with Monday’s event.
Day Two Outlook (Sunday)
Day Three Outlook (Monday)
We’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!

Highlights:
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.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ -2″ (locally higher totals)
