All right, it is weather time.
And you know, hopefully mom liks
doing things indoors anyway.
Because it could be.
I would, you know,
I wouldn't cancel. Absolutely.
Just canceling your plans right,
right. But I would come up with
an indoor alternative, whether you're
doing something on Saturday or Sunday.
I'm not saying it's going to rain every
single square inch of North Texas every
single second of the upcoming weekend.
But there's going to be some rain around
and it will be raining at timesd
maybe a little muddy at times as well.
So whatever you got going on this weekend.
Yeah, prep for some rain and wel
talk about that coming up in a minute.
But we do need it,
especially across western North Texas
where drought continues and some of that
droughts even snuck back into the DFW
area from southern portions of Denton
County to northern Tarrant Coun,
even kind of a the corner where Wise County,
Tarrant County, Denton County ad
Parker County all come together.
There's actually a little
pocket of severe drought there.
That's.
You know if we were to categorize that
on a one through 4 scale that wd
be a 21 scale with lowest you can get
on the drought scales that modee
drought which is what is that gg
on across the Western North Tex.
But then you do run into that se
drought that two on a scale of four from
Breckenridge to east in the Seae
and even a pocket of extreme drought there,
Southern Comanche County and down as you
also get in and around the Hamilton area.
So this is what's headed our was
we head through the rest of the week,
through the weekend and maybe
even early next week.
Remember those places in the drought?
Look at that.
About three to five inches of rn
hopefully falls in those areas.
That will certainly help
out with the drought.
And across the rest of North Te,
it's two to three inches for DF,
maybe a little lower.
Totals for eastern,
northeastern North Texas
of about 1:00 to 2:00.
So I'm not saying all this
is going to fall all at once.
The majority of it though,
will likely fall this upcoming weekend.
Right now outside things are qu,
but just look how hazy it is bee
of all the moisture in the air.
Definitely humid.
May afternoon, 82 in Cedar Hill,
feeling like 83 at the moment because
temperatures are a little cooler than
they've been the last couple da.
We don't have much of a heat in,
but obviously if you've stepped outside,
you know the humidity is definitely there.
82 in Fort Worth feels like 84.
So not much rain in North Texas right now.
In fact,
all we got is just a few little
showers kind of between Greenvi,
Mineola,
the thunderstorm activities down
the East Texas kind of more so p
East Texas off to the east of T,
down around Nacogdoches to centr
in the Toledo Bend areas.
We expand the view though.
What's causing all this is kind of look
down between Austin and San Ant.
You see a little bit of a spin in the
atmosphere here.
We got a disturbance down that way and
it's slinging Gulf moisture up o
North Texas and into Texas as w.
And so it's spawned these showes
and storms stretching from
East Texas over to Louisiana.
That little low pressure systems
going to kind of slide up our ws
we head through the day over overnight
tonight and then during the day tomorrow.
And that's what's going to bring
us our rain chances tomorrow.
So we'll probably start off
the day fairly quiet.
But then as that disturbance sts
to roll in, we'll see scattered
showers and storms develop,
kind of from DFW to the east.
But the exact path that that low
pressure system makes, well,
that'll kind of determine who sees rain.
If it moves maybe a little fart,
EDFW may kind of miss out on some rain.
If it moves a little farther W .
Maybe more of the area.
See some showers and storms,
but there's 3:00 o'clock scattered rain
out there continues toward five o'clock,
7:00 o'clock,
maybe kind of winding down a lie
bit as we lose the heat of the .
And then as that system moves
off to the north and east,
they'll take the rain along wit.
And overnight tomorrow night
and into your Thursday morning,
most of the rain will be acrosst
Texas and over in the Architect.
So right now I got about a 50%
coverage for DFW,
but that could definitely go up
or down depending on the path
of that low pressure system.
Lower coverage,
it does look like for western a,
but definitely a higher coverage possible.
For Eastern North Texas,
as that little low pressure system moves
up our way during the day tomor,
but then I got more rain on the,
Thursday may actually be kind
of quiet across the area.
Right now I'm going to go abouta
40% coverage across North Texas.
Then on Friday we'll go about a
50% coverage of rain out there.
And then unfortunately as we
head into the weekend,
another little system moves
kind of up north through Texas.
Look at all the rain across Texs
on Saturday, about a 70% covera.
So keep that in mind too if
you're traveling for this upcomg
weekend kind of no matter where
you're going in the state.
You're going to run into
rain not only on Saturday,
but potentially in the Sunday as well,
especially kind of across the
eastern half of Texas there.
So it's good rain where it's
needed across Texas as well,
especially across the western portion
of the state where there continues to
be drought in those areas as we.
In the meantime,
tonight mainly dry and muggy,
mostly cloudy skies will be out there,
68 for the low and then tomorrow cloudy,
warm and muggy.
Some scattered rain and storms
possible especially kind of for
midday through the afternoon
into the early evening hours.
As we talked about 40%
coverage on Thursday, 50% on Fr.
The weekend brings higher rain coverage.
Temperatures take a dip, though that'll
be at least nice because of then
tomorrow and also for the upcoming weekend.
And then it looks like we may finally kind
of get out of this pattern early next week.
Next Tuesday through Friday.
I don't have any rain chances at this point.
I mean, could there be a stray
shower or storm out there?
Of course it's May.
It's entirely possible.
But the pattern does look a lot quieter
than what we're seeing the rest of the week.
All right, Kyle, thank you.
And of course, with that busy pattern
coming up in the next several d,
a reminder for you to have that W FAA
app downloaded already in your phone,
if you haven't done that alread.
That way you can track the live radar.
And you know, kind of keep up with your
plans according to what the weather is doing.
