False Spring continues across Texas today, with high temperatures emulating late March and mostly cloudy skies. Mother Nature brings some mischief back into our lives beginning tomorrow.
Thunderstorms Begin Tomorrow; Threat increases Friday Night
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected across the western quarter of Texas Friday morning into early Friday afternoon. Some storms may produce small hail. Strong winds, not associated with rain, are expected in the Permian Basin southwest into the Big Bend region.
Isolated severe thunderstorms with high rain chances Friday night and Saturday morning across Northwest Texas, Big Country, Edwards Plateau, Concho Valley, Hill Country, North Texas, Central Texas, South Texas, Coastal Bend, Coastal Plains, into the Brazos Valley, and Southeast Texas.
Isolated severe storms with hail, strong winds, and a very low tornado threat may occur Saturday morning along the Upper Texas Coast in the Coastal Plains, Southeast Texas, and the Brazos Valley.
Numerous showers and thunderstorms will sweep across the eastern seventy-five percent of Texas from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. In particular, thunderstorms will move from west to east Friday evening through Saturday morning. Some storms within that line may become rowdy with large hail potential. There’s also some risk for a few rotating thunderstorms in the Coastal Bend and Coastal Plains Friday night into Saturday morning. If that activity organizes, large hail, localized damaging wind gusts, and a tornado can’t be ruled out. This threat zone may move into Southeast Texas after sunrise Saturday morning.
Rains end Saturday afternoon (mostly)
Forecast rain across Texas through the weekend. One to three inches of rain is forecast across the eastern third of Texas. One-tenth to three-quarters of an inch of rain west of Interstate 35 into the eastern Texas Panhandle, Northwest Texas, Big Country, Concho Valley, Edwards Plateau, Hill Country, and the Coastal Bend.
Rain chances will be highest across the eastern third of Texas during the morning and early afternoon on Saturday. Precipitation chances will end from west to east on Saturday, with most heavy rain moving east of Texas by late Saturday afternoon. A few light showers may continue into Sunday morning in the Ark-La-Tex.
False Spring continues Next Week
We expect several days of dry weather after rain, with chances ending on Saturday (or Sunday at the latest). A weak cool front will knock high temperatures down into the 50s and 60s for the northern half of Texas beginning Saturday and continuing through Monday. The southern half of Texas won’t see much of a temperature drop. The entire state will be back up into the 60s, 70s, and 80s by mid-week as False Spring shows no signs of backing off through the first two weeks of February.
Above-average chances for wet weather across a majority of the United States for the first two weeks of February.
