Milder temperatures and a spring-like weekend are on tap. But I am still anticipated a fairly significant weather event to develop in the Plains Sunday into Monday. For us it will likely mean high rain chances with strong storms and the probability of threat of severe weather, per the Storm Prediction Center. In the near-term expect milder conditions tonight with early evening lows screeching to a halt in the lower 50s thanks to breezy S/SE winds that will abate somewhat overnight. Tomorrow will bring partly cloudy and warm conditions with highs pushing into the mid-70s. A weakening frontal boundary will approach the area tomorrow evening possibly sparking off a few showers late tomorrow afternoon until around midnight tomorrow night but rain chances shouldn’t exceed 30%. Saturday will be sunny and pleasant with highs in the low-mid 70s with partly cloudy, breezy and very warm conditions likely Sunday. The mercury could approach 80 degrees for Sunday afternoon. Storms will be likely Monday with all modes of severe weather possible (damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes). So we’ll continue with the “heads up” for Monday. The National Weather Service in Lake Charles is continuing with their Severe Weather Awareness Week concentrating on heavy rains and flooding today. Also check out NOAA’s Precipitation Analysis Page and their Hydro Page for good sources of information. More on Monday’s event tomorrow.
