Another Round of Showers and Storms on Tuesday

Atmospheric conditions tomorrow are expected to be similar to what we saw today with an abundance of moisture in place across central and eastern Texas, a weak upper level disturbance just to our east, and a strong ridge of high pressure centered over the desert southwest. Today’s round of storms across the north central, eastern and south central regions of the state are expected to diminish over the next couple of hours, then redevelop along the coast by early tomorrow. Once we begin to heat up during the early afternoon hours tomorrow, another round of stronger and more numerous showers is expected to develop similar to what we saw today with the bulk of activity mainly south of the I-20 corridor. Only a few of the storms today reached severe limits with 60mph winds and some small hail reported, so much the same is expected tomorrow leaving the main threats as heavy downpours, brief periods of localized flooding, gusty winds and cloud to ground lightning. Most of the activity should diminish within a few hours after sunset and loss of daytime heating. The exception to that will be across the panhandle where northwest flow in the upper levels may drive any storms that develop across eastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado into the panhandle region during the late evening and overnight hours. Confidence in that is low at this time, but it’s worth watching tomorrow evening if something gets going.

Highs tomorrow will be close to or just below seasonal averages for this time of the year. Anytime we can get rain, cloud cover and temps below average in July is a rare treat, and we’ll enjoy it for as long as we can! Temperatures stay around average for the remainder of the work week, then it looks like we may gradually heat up again as high pressure tries to build back in by early next week.
