SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS…
THIS EVENING… A weak warm front is draped right over North Texas. Showers and thunderstorms are developing to the north of this front mainly along the Red River. There are also a few storms developing near Athens and Palestine. More storms will develop from about I-35W and eastward this evening. Heavy rain, gusty winds and some small hail will be the primary threat. Coverage on the rain will be about 40% to 50%.
One of those storms has reached severe limits. The storm is right along the county line of Navarro and Henderson County between Athens and Corsicana. It is moving southeast at 15 mph. The warning goes until 3:30pm. Penny size hail and winds to 60 mph are possible with this storm.
We are not under a slight risk for severe weather and no watches are anticipated at this time, but a few more storms may get warnings issued for them as we go through the evening hours.
TONIGHT… More showers and storms will organize overnight and affect parts of the area. The severe weather threat is low, but lots of lightning, heavy rain and some gusty winds will be possible with the storms. Low of 72.
TOMORROW… Partly sunny skies with more showers and storms possible. Rain chances tomorrow will be at 50%. Depending on how much cloud cover we see highs will be near 90 degrees.
SATURDAY… Still a few showers and storms with the best opportunity for storms coming in the morning. Rain chances will be lower to the west and higher to the east during the day. Highs will be once again near 90 degrees.
SUNDAY AND LABOR DAY…
There will still be a few lingering storms possible mainly east of Dallas on Sunday and Monday. I don’t anticipate very many storms in the metroplex, but an isolated shower could develop. Regardless, it won’t be a wash out and most of Sunday and Monday will be dry. It does heat back up though with highs in the mid 90s by Monday.
