Possible Severe Weather Saturday

Taking a look at the new computer models, there will be a slight chance of severe thunderstorms Saturday in parts of Texas. I believe that the Brazos Valley will avoid big storms, but I cannot rule out several bouts of rainfall during the weekend.

As of this evening, low pressure with a trailing cold front will move across central Texas and the Brazos Valley tomorrow afternoon.

 

Once the cold front parks across our neck of the woods, disturbances in the upper levels will ride along the front and help to create a few big storms, especially west of I-35 and parallel to I-10.

Surface and upper level data suggests that any storms that crop up will have the possibility to produce: heavy rain, frequent lightning, gusty winds, and large hail. The tornado threat is really not there tomorrow based on the way the winds are aligned. Due to all of the ingredients in play, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma has outlined portions of the Hill County and east Texas under a slight risk for severe weather.

Again, the Brazos Valley should be spared from big storms, but if you are traveling to the Hill Country stay on top of the weather.
