Texas Weather Alert: Brace for a Stormy Week!
If you’re in Texas, it’s time to get your rain gear ready because the weather is about to get a bit wild! A classic springtime pattern is forming this week, and it’s bringing some serious storms. High moisture levels from the Gulf of Mexico are colliding with a few weak disturbances, and the result? Potentially severe weather across the state!
What’s Coming Up?
From Wednesday until the weekend, Texans should be on the lookout for severe thunderstorms. The northern half of the state is set to experience the highest chances for intense storms and heavy rainfall. But don’t let your guard down if you live further south! Areas like San Antonio and the beautiful Hill Country could also see some isolated severe storms.
Wednesday Forecast
Let’s dive into the details for Wednesday, starting off in San Antonio where morning temperatures will sit around a comfy 70 degrees. But brace yourself as temperatures are expected to rise to the upper 80s and even dip into the low 90s by late afternoon. With these warm conditions, storms will make their debut in two rounds:
- First Round: Parts of North and Northeast Texas will feel the stormy effects in the morning and early afternoon.
- Second Round: After midnight Wednesday night, expect another wave of storms, as a warm atmospheric cap erodes.
For those in North Texas, including Abilene, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Sherman, keep your eyes peeled! This area is under a level 3 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms, meaning damaging hail and even isolated tornadoes could be possible.
What About Central and South Texas?
Don’t let your guard down if you’re in the Hill Country or areas stretching from San Antonio to Austin. There’s a 10% to 20% chance of storms overnight into early Thursday, with the potential for some severe developments. Fingers crossed everyone stays safe!
Thrilling Thursday Ahead
As Thursday rolls around, expect similar weather conditions with mostly dry skies in San Antonio and high temperatures hanging around the upper 80s to low 90s. But don’t get too comfortable; late Thursday night, another spate of strong to severe thunderstorms could rumble through West-Central Texas.
Friday’s Forecast: A Shift in the Weather
As a strong low pressure system moves into Central Texas on Friday, storm chances will shift southward, bringing San Antonio its best opportunity for significant rainfall. By Friday night and into early Saturday, storm chances could rise to about 50%, with some storms capable of producing large hail and damaging winds. Hold onto your hats, folks!
Weekend Chill and Snow in the Panhandle
Once the storms clear out Saturday, a strong cold front is set to sweep through South Texas Saturday night into Sunday. Temperatures will tumble down to the mid- to upper 40s on Sunday morning. This powerful front might even bring freezing temperatures and a couple of inches of snow to the Texas Panhandle—a rare April sight indeed!
Looking Ahead to Next Week
As the chilly weather fades away, South Texans can expect some cool mornings with lows in the mid- to upper 40s. But don’t worry; highs are predicted to climb back to the mid-70s to near 80 degrees by the middle of the week. So, get ready to bundle up for a bit, then break out those shorts again!
As always, it’s wise to stay informed as this week progresses, as weather conditions can swiftly change. Having a plan in place and being prepared are the best ways to weather the storm. Stay safe, Texas!
