KATC StormTeam 3 Weather BLOG

Sunday will be a transition day back to higher humidity and clouds by late in the day as we get set for an active weather pattern for early next week.  A strong cold front will bring an excellent chance of showers and storms on Monday.  Upper level dynamics could favor the risk of severe weather as a warm front races to the north from the Gulf late Sunday night into early Monday, and then again with a potential squall line that will develop ahead of the front Monday.  The severe weather parameters should be highest to our north and east, but this will be a vigorous system so an isolated tornado threat may be possible with the warm front and then the threat of damaging winds with a strong mid-level jet possible with any squall line that gets going.  At the very least, plan on high rain chances for Monday with lingering showers behind the sharp front that will move through the area Monday night.  Blustery north to northwest winds and some wrap around moisture and scattered showers will be possible Tuesday with the upper pattern favoring well below normal temperatures for the rest of next week.  In fact it will almost feel winter-like for Tuesday and Wednesday nights…sounds like a great week for making some gumbo!
