Spotty a.m. Showers, Slight Chance of an Isolated p.m. T-Storm Friday....


Expected impacts:
  • Patchy areas of drizzle or very light rain are possible on Friday morning and a few spotty light showers cannot be ruled out
  • An isolated thunderstorm is possible mainly between 7pm and Midnight on Friday evening/night, but this would more likely occur to the East of I-35
  • If an isolated thunderstorm does form between 7pm and Midnight it could become strong, but again, this would most likely occur to the East of I-35
  • Isolated to widely scattered showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm are possible overnight Friday night into pre-dawn Saturday
Discussion:
Patchy areas of drizzle or very light rain are possible on Friday morning and a few spotty light rain showers cannot be ruled out. Most of this activity will be very light in intensity and somewhat spotty in nature, with any rainfall on Friday morning likely to average only a trace or few hundredths of an inch in the impacted locations.

The afternoon hours on Friday are likely to remain dry, but a spotty patch of very light rain cannot be completely ruled out.

By Friday evening...a boundary will approach the local a region from the West. An isolated thunderstorm is possible across the area as this boundary moves through, mainly between 7pm and Midnight on Friday evening/night. The probability of a thunderstorm developing across the local area during this time period is about 20 percent (or less), with higher probabilities to the East of I-35.

If an isolated thunderstorm does form between 7pm and Midnight it could become strong, with strong, gusty winds and/or hail, but again, this would most likely occur to the East of I-35 during that time period.

Otherwise...isolated to widely scattered showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm are possible across the area overnight Friday night (after Midnight) into the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning, behind the aforementioned boundary.

Please note: Strong, gusty winds will occur area-wide across the region on Saturday. 


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