We can put the snow and ice talk to bed (for now, anyway, and hopefully for the rest of winter) and we’re ready to push into some springtime temperatures for this week.
This also means we’re going to be tracking some “springtime” thunderstorms with a front on Thursday.
Here’s the breakdown:
The storm that we’ll be tracking here across Texas mid-week was drenching Southern California.
While they need the rain to help with wildfire management for the active fires, too much rain like they are seeing is creating new problems with mudslides across fire-burned areas.
Ahead of the storm, we’ll be generally cloudy, and warm in the mid to upper 60s with light rain chances at best.
We’ll start to see the first wave late Wednesday, with the storms producing some hail chances and severe storms west of I-35.
We’ll see the bulk of storm action on Thursday.
Although the highest threat for intense storms/severe weather will stay to our north, there is a chance to pick up a few strong storms Thursday afternoon.
While it is still early and we’ll see adjustments in the timing and intensity of storms as they come through, the early indication is that these storms could drop anywhere from 1-2″ as they move in.
We’re under a 1 out of 4 risk for severe weather. While most of the nasty storms will stay well north of most of the area, there are a few spots that could see a few stronger storms along the cold front itself as it passes through.
That doesn’t sound like much, but given that this is four days away and the risk has already been issued, it’s something to watch as we go into this week!
