Rodeo Tonight:
Warm and windy will be the story for the remainder of the day and into this evening, especially if you’re heading out to see Ms. Lizzo! Storm chances will be very spotty as most of them will stay across parts of north Texas.
Weekend Forecast:
Let’s talk about the chance for rain this weekend and while it won’t be a wash out, you will need to stay weather aware all weekend.
Saturday, a cold front begins to move into SE Texas, bringing a line of storms that may produce downpours and strong winds.
On Sunday, the system begins to stall, but a cut-off upper-level system moves into Texas, which will help bring the energy storms need to form.
By Wednesday, the low will be over SE Texas, increasing rain and storm chances. Beware: cut-off lows have a history of having a mind of their own, but we’ll bring you updates if the rain trend changes.
This rain is much needed, as drought conditions have led to burn bans across 14 counties in southeast Texas. Even if your county isn’t listed below, all of SE Texas is dealing with elevated fire danger.
Here are some reminders: do not leave a fire unattended, avoid anything that could spark, do not drag chains, never park or drive over tall grass, and never toss cigarettes on the ground.
Your Extended Forecast:
Sunday, we will even spring forward as Daylight Saving Time begins. The front will stall and linger for most of the day on Sunday so indoor plans may be a good choice.
Another strong front will bring storms for Tuesday/Wednesday but clears out for the remainder of spring break next week!
