Friday Blog: Finally some sunshine and a preview of our upcoming storm system. -Doug

Hope your week is going well so far. Mine has been busy but pretty good. I’m definitely ready to see some sunshine which we will see on Friday! Also, the temperatures will start to warm up a bit.

We have a very weak wave which will give us clouds at times and maybe a pinch or two, but that’s ok. We have another weak wave that could give us a few quick splashes or showers on Saturday morning.

Saturday afternoon most of them are over and we are looking pretty good with highs near 60.

Sunday is looking good as we warm up in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. Monday and Tuesday we will be pushing the 70s above 80s in many spots which will be nice. Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, we receive strong storms in the region.

Wednesday afternoon, other thunderstorms appear. Some of them could be loud to severe so we want to look at that.

Now, the greatest threat of severe thunderstorms will remain in the Southern Plains and Dixie States, but that’s where the bulk is expected to be for this time of year. Severe weather will certainly begin to spread further north during the month of April. The long term forecast is below.
