Super steep QPF gradient in the Ensembles and most of the models around Hwy 1*5 continues.

The latest WPC 7 day QPF forecast now looks significantly better for us. It’s now showing 1-3” over SETX.

The WPC continues to increase totals across the area. Now showing 1.5 to 4” for the next 7 days.

Also, the SPC has placed all of the area in a slight risk for severe weather on Saturday.

Sorry Stratton, but I don’t think y’all are going to escape getting wet this weekend in Southeast Texas lol.

I’m closely watching next Tuesday up here. There could be a severe weather outbreak that day. As the cutoff low ejects. It looks like the expected El Niño pattern is starting as we transition to neutral and then full El Niño in the Summer.

Nah, there will be another good chance of rain and severe thunderstorms with the front next week. Then a few days of nice weather towards the end of next week.

Rotating cells, hook echos, and tornadoes in OK.

Severe season is starting. Severe storms are expected to move into NW Texas and NTX. I-44 looks like the dividing line for now.

Probably only light rain for us through the weekend...especially S of Hwy 105.

I hope this isn't a bust. The discrepancy between the models has me feeling bust is a big possibility.

To be honest, I’m not really feeling too confident myself, especially areas S of I-10.

I don't think CLL sees much until Wednesday and the FROPA.

NAM, HRRR, other Mesos look pretty busty for the weekend. Midweek is our action.

Even then, there continues the large gradient south of Hwy 1*5.

The Union City, Michigan tornado footage is unbelievably sad. It’s incredible to see that with a frozen lake right there. Wonder if that could have enhanced it in anyway.
