Wednesday Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly …

We started May off on the wet side with scattered thunderstorms across the area yesterday. Although there were a few down pours none of the storms became severe. By the afternoon the sun broke through the clouds and perfect weather to sit outside on the porch.

Overnight we saw partly cloudy skies but this morning we are beginning to see clouds push in from the west. This morning will be mild and humid, with temperatures in the lower 60’s.

The first upper level low that brought us severe weather for the beginning of the week will finally be pushed off towards the east as another makes its pass from the Arizona/New Mexico border into West Central Texas today. With plenty of moisture and lift, thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon with the possibility of seeing some strong to severe storms. We will be watching this system closely since there is the possibility for heavy rain and flooding potential. Temperatures will get into the upper 70’s.

We will continue to see the thunderstorms into the overnight and morning hours Thursday with lows in the lowers 60’s. The low should be kicked off to the East during the morning Thursday. For the rest of the day, we will see decreasing clouds and partly sunny skies by the afternoon.

If you are planning any outdoor activities for the weekend you may want to get them in Friday into Saturday morning where we will see some sunshine and temperatures in the upper 80’s with lows in the mid 60’s. As early as Saturday afternoon we could see our next system approach and bring back rain chances for Saturday through early next week.

Have a great day!
