Texas Rain

It’s a good thing it’s not late spring. I say that because if it were - if temperatures were about 20 degrees warmer - this system that’s going to go across Texas tonight and into the South Tuesday and Wednesday would be a big problem. But, since it’s not warmer, then it’s not going to be as big of an issue to deal with.

We are looking for rain and some thunderstorms to develop tonight. They’ll hit the DFW metroplex area just after dinner time and slowly spread across East Texas overnight. Louisiana, especially northern Louisiana will get into the action Tuesday morning. The image above is the North American Model’s Simulated Radar output for 6 AM Tuesday. (Remember that every weather model is wrong in some way, shape or form. I’ll post these model images to give you an idea of what we’re expecting, but they will never be exactly correct.)

There will be some lightning and pretty steady rain. East Texas, and the eastern half of Oklahoma are looking at between 3/4” to 1 1/2” of rain. But, other than that, no big worries.
