Severe Potential Tomorrow

Scattered showers will persist through tonight and into tomorrow morning. The air is too stable for thunderstorms to form during this time period.

Hit-and-miss showers will be possible on Monday with a chance for strong thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. During this time, the atmosphere will become unstable:


Also, there will be strong convergence at the surface:


Lastly, jet stream winds will also be strong enough to produce speed shear:


For these reasons, severe storms will be possible.


The big question heading into tomorrow: how unstable will the atmosphere become? If we see a little sunshine, then the chances for severe storms will increase. If we're socked in clouds and rain all day, then the chances decrease.

Where Are The Warm Days?

Today was a warm day, but would you believe that it was one of the warmest we've seen so far this year? Here is a list of the five warmest:

82 on March 8

82 on March 9

81 on April 10

80 on March 11

80 on Today

This spring has been definitely cool, in fact the results of our latest blog poll showed that the majority of people have yet to use their A/C this year!

I bring this up because the latest data is hinting at a major warm up headed this way in about a week (from April 25 through 30). I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days end up on top of the five warmest list from above!

Severe Storms In Texas

It was an active weather day yesterday in west TX where there were 11 tornado reports and 57 hail reports (some the size of baseballs!).



Isolated tornadoes and large hail will again be possible throughout Texas and into parts of Oklahoma and Kansas.



This same system will move into our area late Sunday and into Monday.
