KATC StormTeam 3 Weather BLOG

The forecast is on track, but I’ve bumped-up the timing of our next wet weather system.  Clouds will increase tomorrow morning with rain chances increasing through tomorrow afternoon.  It appears that the severe weather threat should be minimal with this system, but we could have some potent storms skirting the coastal parishes.  This system will be progressive in nature so I expect rainfall totals to be no more than 1-2”.  But with some areas so saturated from storms this week, anything more than that will cause flooding troubles.  Another round of storms will be likely tomorrow night with wet weather ending during Sunday morning.  Nice and cool conditions will follow Sunday evening and will carry us through Tuesday.  Mid-late next week will likely bring us more heavy rains and the threat of severe weather.  The details for late next week are still hazy so I have broad-brushed the rain chances Wednesday through Saturday with perhaps one of those days not too wet.  We’ll have a better feel for this one as we head into early next week.  Have a good weekend.
