A strong storm system and associated cold front will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the area later today into tonight. Air mass modification is underway this morning with mid 40 degree dewpoints near the Sabine River and mid to upper 60 degree dewpoints surging northward through the Matagorda Bay region. Rapid influx of moisture will continue today ahead of approaching front which is currently moving through the TX panhandle. Scattered light showers will be possible in the onshore flow regime through early to mid afternoon. By late afternoon with modest low level heating and increasing lift showers and thunderstorms will become increasingly widespread and intense. May see a few storms develop out ahead of the cold front in the 300-700pm time frame to the north and west of the metro area and then a more solid line forms along and ahead of the surging cold front. Most favorable time for widespread thunderstorms will be this evening from 600pm to around 100am Sunday with activity moving from northwest to southeast across the region.
There remains a “marginal” level 1 out of 5 severe weather risk (60mph and 1 inch hail along with an isolated tornado) across the entire region. This risk level has remained about the same over the last 24 hours and while it is on the lower end it is not zero. Additionally, heavy rainfall of 1-3 inches will be possible with the higher totals correlating with the stronger storm cells. Some street flooding will be possible where the higher rainfall totals occur in a short period of time.
