Hey everyone… looks like the end is near for these overcast skies. Last weekend ended up being overcast both days despite the previous forecasts for clear skies both days. This weekend we will try again with conditions clearing up Thursday and remaining clear through Sunday. Until then, expect rainy conditions from midnight Tuesday morning through mid-afternoon to maybe sundown, with some embedded heavy rains and occasional thunder.
Wednesday has 20% rain chances during the day and 40% in the evening with overcast skies. The Storm Prediction Center has a very small area from DFW and just to our east under a ‘Slight’ severe storm risk for Wednesday. The risk will be mainly isolated in nature as a strong atmospheric cap will be in place supressing storm development. However conditions aside from this cap are quite favorable for severe storm development, meaning any storms that do develop will become severe and likely supercellular in structure. Any supercells that develop will possibly have a tornado threat associated with them, so I will keep an eye on this for everyone. The SPC mentioned these storms will be quasi-discrete meaning individual supercells could develop along a dry line, rather than the unbroken squall line we typically see. Supercell storms produce large hail, high winds, and can generate tornadoes , so again I will keep an eye on this and see how this evolves.
Wednesday and Thursday warm up a tad with highs near 80 and lows in the mid 60s. The end of the week and weekend will cool off under the clear skies, highs in the upper 60s, lows in the upper 40s.
