Greg, what's the weather
looking like? Yeah, it's gonna t
a little wet at times out here.
As we go through the rest of this morning,
we'll have a few showers moving in from
the South, so be prepared for t.
It is going to be light out there and
then we'll talk about those heavier rain
chances as we get into Mother's Day weekend.
Let's get you on out the door he
this morning looking at Fair Pa,
we will have partly cloudy skiet
there for you right now, 70 deg.
It's going to be on the warm si,
everyone in the upper 60s.
To low 70s if we're getting out to walk,
the dog shouldn't have any major issues.
Just she was a little caution.
There will be some light rain
around between a 7:00 AM and 9:0
o'clock out here this morning.
So just like,
keep that in mind as we go through the
day and here's what it looks li.
In fact,
on radar you see that light rain South
of I-20 now but over toward Clee
Waxahachie down toward Hillsbor.
Waco picks up a little bit,
even some embedded thunderstorms
there that we've seen down around the
Awaco area that is lifting northward.
Associated with that low that's
down in around the Austin area,
look at the heavy rain South of
I-10 heading over toward the Hon
area around Corpus Christi as w.
So that will be lifting north
and northeast to low will.
So that's going to keep that
chance for the showers and stors
in our forecast for today.
Now the heavier rain should
be off to our east and South,
but as we head toward midday to.
I still think we'll have showers
becoming a little more widespre,
maybe an isolated thunderstorm
across the North Texas,
pockets of some heavier rain
in our eastern counties,
getting out toward Taro and a Canton as
we head toward midday on into the afternoon.
So a bit of a wet afternoon
commute across our area.
You see out to the West not goig
to see much in the way of rain,
but we will have showers and soe
isolated thunderstorms over a large part
of North Texas coming home later today.
And then as we head on into ton,
the showers and storms do begin to taper off,
the low moves on away.
So we will see the rain kind
of waning a little bit.
Tapering off a little bit,
but then we'll have the next sym
moving in from the West as we hd
into late Thursday going into Friday,
and the showers and storms will start
to increase in coverage once ag.
So for Thursday we'll just put
the coverage at about 20%,
but then bump those rain chances back
up to about a 60% coverage headg
into Friday and then on Saturda.
As we get into the weekend,
they're widespread showers,
isolated thunderstorms expected
across the North Texas,
about an 80% coverage expected on Saturday.
And yes, Mother's Day may
start out dry across the area,
not going to stay that way.
We are talking about more widesd
showers and some isolated
thunderstorms on Mother's Day as well,
about a 70% coverage as we head into Sunday.
So overall though, over the next
several days through next Monda,
we're going to keep that chance
of rain in the forecast,
we are talking about two
to three inches of rain.
Across the large part of North
Texas and some locally heavier
amounts at times as well.
So flooding could become a concn
across some parts of the area.
Just keep that in mind as you he
those plans for the latter halff
the week into the upcoming week.
So temperatures there will be in
the mid upper 70s for us today s
upper 80s Thursday and Friday,
so it's going to stay on the warm side.
And we just talked about the widespread
showers and storms Saturday and Sunday.
The rain finally begins to taper
off some early next week and you
see those temperatures come down
just a little bit as well.
As we are looking at the upper s
to around 80 degrees early nextk
now the rain will be widespread.
It will be very helpful as far s
the drought conditions are concerned.
So we do want to bring Mariel in
just to let us know how much ths
is going to be helping us out s.
Yeah, thanks, Greg.
You talked about that beneficial rain and
man do we need it in some parts of Texas.
This is our latest drought monitor and
the worst of the drought is in the Texas
Panhandle and in Central Texas e
we have exceptional levels of drought,
especially just West of San
Antonio and in Austin full.
Fortunately, looking at the
Texas rainfall outlook,
it looks like that's where we wl
see the highest rainfall and the
will be some flooding involved.
But at least it catches us up or
attempts to with the additionalo
7 inches for areas of San Anton,
Austin and into the Hill Country just
into the big country and the Panhandle.
Less amounts between 3:00 to abt
5 in some of those spots.
Now there are flood watches
in place actively in Texas.
They extend from areas in the
southeast like Houston.
In towards our eastern counties.
So that'll be something to be watching
if you are traveling in that direction.
3 to 4 inches of rain have
already accumulated just within
the past 24 hours there.
So DFW specifically,
we've had just over 1/4 of an i.
That's put us at a slow start for the month.
We've had about at an inch defi,
11 1/2 inches so far for the ye.
So hopefully this rain,
much needed will catch up.
