A Stormy Saturday

katc_enhanced_ir.jpgWe are still on track for scattered showers and thunderstorms tomorrow, with some storms possibly severe.  The greatest risk of severe weather should be north of Acadiana, but we cannot rule out a strong meso-convective complex traveling through our area.  As we have been saying, the main thrust of this system will to the north and east, but given the jet stream structure tomorrow we could see and a couple of isolated severe storms capable of producing damaging winds or a tornado.  So keep an eye on the sky and your TV tuned to KATC TV 3 for the latest.  Best chance of getting wet for tomorrow will be during the afternoon hours into the evening with activity ending before daybreak on Sunday.  Rain totals could be in the 1-2 inch range with greatest chance of soaking rain over the northwestern and the southeastern portions of Acadiana.  I’m pretty optimistic about Sunday’s weather with mostly sunny skies returning for the afternoon.  A good looking front is on tap for late Tuesday into Wednesday and with it another chance of showers and storms.  Cool weather is expected to stay with us through next Saturday, but long range models are hinting at a wet Easter…but that’s likely to change.  In the near term be safe this weekend and watch out for the lightning too.
