Friday Night Lights

Derek Kinkade here tonight filling in for Josh while he is at the conference in Mobile. Looks like some good stuff! I will be looking forward to seeing more posts from him after they conclude business tonight...

On to our weather business...

* Looks like an absolutely perfect weekend, if you like spring weather! We don't have any rain in the forecast, partly cloudy skies, and highs near 80 for Saturday and Sunday. Definitely try to get outside and enjoy it!

* Our next rain chances come Monday and Tuesday in the form of a powerful spring storm system that is set to affect the area. A strong negatively tilted trough will roll in here by Monday afternoon, setting the stage for possible severe weather. It is still way to early to talk about specifics with this system. We will keep a close eye on things Saturday and Sunday. Right now it seems as if the surface low is tracking a little too far north for a big outbreak of severe weather around here. In any case, I think we see a squall line moving through the state sometime Monday evening/night, and with that I'm sure we could see damaging winds and extremely heavy rainfall. If any storms fire ahead of the line, its conceivable that they could rotate. Again, way too early to tell on this one. Check back, and we will have more updates on this event as the weekend progresses.

* Heavy rain will be a threat from this system regardless. There could be an additional 2 to 3 inches of rain from this system in places that do not need the rainfall. Again, this is a changing situation and we will keep a close eye on it all weekend.
