Update on Thunderstorm Potential for Late Saturday Evening/Saturday Night

A cool front will move into the local region on Saturday evening into Saturday night/pre-dawn Sunday. Scattered shower and scattered thunderstorm development will likely occur across the local area in association with the approach and then passage of this front. The most likely time for scattered shower and scattered thunderstorm development locally currently appears to be from toward/after Sunset on Saturday through dawn on Sunday.

At this time it appears that thunderstorm activity will be more numerous and heavier generally to the East and Northeast of I-35, to the immediate East and Northeast of much of the local area in association with this event.

Any scattered thunderstorms that do form across the local area late on Saturday evening into Saturday night will be capable of producing locally heavy downpours of rain and lightning. An isolated stronger thunderstorm also cannot be ruled out during this time period, but again, this is more likely to occur (and will likely be greater in number and intensity) further to the Northeast and/or East of the local area based on present trends.

Ahead of the above mentioned activity...scattered patches of light rain and/or patches of drizzle will be possible across the local area most anytime on Saturday, but especially during the morning hours. This will be in association with moisture streaming back into the region from the Gulf of Mexico.



We will continue monitoring the situation and issue updates as conditions warrant.
