hey if it's worth doing it's worth doing
right Steve right if you're gonna do it
might as well do it right so we're
having fun we're keeping the confetti
going out here with the help of the kids
it's always fun because they just keep
playing in the confetti all right I'm
gonna I'm gonna give away the homemade
thermometer right now and then we're
gonna get to the maps and chat about the
forecast I've mixed this up a lot it is
Miss Hannah confetti angel I like it do
it again do it again that's a first for
me at Fiesta that is a fiesta first a
confetti angel it really looks like it -
holy cow I like that alright here we go
for the thermometer eight five five two
three eight
[Applause]
if he distracted me
Congrats
of course you're welcome I keep the
instructions on the back for us and
notes and whatnot and don't worry I'll
be giving away more thermometers in the
weeks ahead all right so you know what
let's let's chat forecast we're here at
family leisure on i-35 and if we have
any last-minute stragglers do we have
any left a couple come oh we have it
just a couple left so if you happen to
live in the area nearby we have a couple
left all right so where do you think
would be a good spot to put the maps
here oh okay well there you go all right
now we got it tada
there you have it so today we topped out
at 79 nice day today 79 for the high
temperatures it's actually two degrees
below average
now our morning low though was well
above average at 65 that's because all
the moisture in the air I'll be a
humidity higher dew point that
translates to warmer mornings highs
today across the state you look off to
the west you know 84 Midland is only in
the 70s though for a good portion of the
state Laredo topped out at 89 some 70s
and 80s mixed in across South Texas but
you know we'll all be in the 70s soon
and then falling down into the mid to
upper 60s for overnight lows now there's
that breeze we just can't shake the wind
it's that southeasterly wind that keeps
coming and it's pretty gusty and it's
going to stay that way it's steady at 23
miles per hour so basically between 15
and 25 miles per hours what we're seeing
the sustained winds at this hour and
breezy again tomorrow breezy again as we
get into Thursday
dew points now low 60s feeling the
humidity anytime we get into the 60
degree range that means you notice it
it's not oppressive but you notice it
all right here the maps big screen for
you check this out
quiet across Texas right now but look
off to our West
that's that digging upper level system
that dip in the upper level flow causing
all that precipitation across the
Rockies from basically the Arizona
northward to the Canadian border that's
going to dig more and head our way
and provide us with energy as we get
into tomorrow so our Futurecast shows
more Gulf moisture moisture streaming in
and keep in mind that's a fuel source
for thunderstorms that's going to be
throughout the day tomorrow the moisture
coming in but as for storms during the
day maybe a 20% chance that would be it
our best chance and take a look at the
Futurecast is when the cold front hits
and that's when we should have better
lift and we'll have a lot of instability
so we are expecting some storms with I
think the likelihood of a few becoming
strong to severe primary threats being
large hail and gusty straight-line winds
that would mainly be between 10:00 p.m.
and 3:00 a.m. there's a look at the
severe weather threat and you can see
we're right on the edge of that orange
area so basically about a 2 to 3 out of
5 on that potential scale so
temperatures falling through the 70s
this evening let's go into tomorrow's
forecast 80 for the high most of the day
will be just like today maybe an
isolated storm it's tomorrow night 10:00
p.m. and after when we have the best
chance of that
but then the payoff is on Thursday sunny
78 and good Friday all the way through
Easter sunny and in the low to mid 80s
hey tomorrow Katie and Sarah South Park
Mall give it away weather authority
metals starting at the the line can
start at 4:00 p.m. South Park Mall in
the food court they got something coming
yeah always a good time that's the
latest now for family leisure we'll see
you next half-hour
