We’ll all love the weekend’s forecast and we’ll probably hate next week’s forecast

Although Mother’s Day weekend will feature some SPECTACULAR temperatures, next week will feel more like Father’s Day with near-record highs in the forecast for potentially four days. Since I’m assuming you’re not a seahorse or the trickster God Loki, you probably don’t want Father’s Day-esque weather to sully our mid-May weather.

Our Next First Alert Weather Day Arrives Tuesday!

1 week ago | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore |Brady Taylor |CD Finley

Scattered shower and thunderstorm chances return for Monday, but we don’t expect strong storms out of this activity. Our strong to severe potential picks up on Tuesday! Unfortunately there is still a lot of uncertainty in the weather model data that has been coming in this weekend, so there are some question marks on the timing of storms and how likely the severe weather threat will materialize.

2 weeks ago | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore |Brady Taylor |CD Finley

Central Texas is in a prime position to see a few different rounds of showers and thunderstorms over the coming few days and likely even stretching into next week as well. We’re keeping a close eye on the potential for heavy rain each day that’ll lead to flash flooding, but Wednesday is a First Alert Weather Day for the likelihood for strong storms to blossom during the afternoon and evening hours.
First Alert Weather: Strong storms are possible Wednesday, kicking off a week of decently high rain chances!

2 weeks ago | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

Although the majority of severe weather season has so far been tame with just a few strong storms here and there, severe weather season is finally getting going with multiple days of showers and storms on the way through the middle of next week bringing us heavy rain and severe storm chances. While it’s looking like we’ll have at least two days of heavy rain, there’s still a fair few question marks as to how much rain may fall and when severe storms will move through.
First Alert Weather: Mid-week storm chances returning to Central Texas

2 weeks ago | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

Although the first half of the severe weather season has been mostly tame with just a few severe storms here and there, we’re staring down at least a week with halfway decent rain chances and severe storm chances too. The first opportunity for rain arrives Tuesday, but the best storm chances will arrive Wednesday and then maybe again on Friday too.
First Alert Weather: Today will likely feature our highest chance for showers and thunderstorms

2 weeks ago | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

Although we did see a decent amount of rain yesterday morning, we’re expecting even more rain to fall today! We’re watching two clusters of showers and thunderstorms this morning. Although the area of rain closest to our area will likely slowly weaken as it pushes in this morning west of I-35, it’ll be the other cluster of storms in North Texas that will be the driving force behind today’s 70% chance for rain.
A "wish upon a star" rain chance returns today

Aug 16, 2024 | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

I pulled you in with that headline, didn’t I? Yeah, there is the possibility for a stray shower or thunderstorm late today near and west of I-35, but the rain chances are so low that they’re almost not even worth talking about. I’m calling it a 5% chance for rain today, so in general, today will just be another hot and humid day of weather. Morning temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70s will warm to near 101° late this afternoon with heat index values approaching 107°.
