We get one more day of tranquil weather before we enter an active period that will bring a few rounds of storms, including some severe weather.

Today will be cloudy, humid and windy with highs around 80° and southerly winds of 10-15 MPH.

Overnight we’ll see storms develop in West Texas and move eastward, arriving here in the morning, reaching our western zones around 6-7 am. They will likely weaken as they approach, but some could be strong with small hail and gusty winds. These should be out of here by noon, and then we’ll have to watch east of I-45 for the potential of additional storms that could become strong/severe in the afternoon. These aren’t a guarantee, but will be worth keeping an eye on. Any storms that do develop near I-45 would move eastward.

Saturday we start dry and windy but will be watching for storms to develop west of us in the afternoon. Any storms that do develop in the afternoon will quickly move northeastward and could become strong/severe. By the evening/nighttime hours, we should see storms congeal into a solid squall line and move eastward. These storms will also have the potential of becoming strong/severe, and all modes of severe weather - damaging winds, large hail, flooding and a few tornadoes - will be possible with any storms on Saturday. I want to emphasize that we could see two round of storms - supercell thunderstorms to start (if they reach our area after they develop out west), and then the squall line later that should move through the whole area. Timing on all of this is still in flux, so stay tuned for updates on that.

Everything should move out by early Sunday morning, leaving the rest of the day to be warm and windy with highs in the low 80’s. Our next chances of rain arrive next week as we have low chances Monday and Wednesday, with temperatures reaching into the mid 80’s.
