Another Round of Storms Tuesday-March Out Like a Lion?

tuesday-march-31-2009-surface-mapRain chances with embedded heavier thunderstorms will become likely again for our Tuesday.  Another storm system rolling out of the Rockies this evening will keep the return flow going from the Gulf of Mexico through tomorrow.  Showers and storms will likely initiate along a frontal boundary during the mid-morning through the afternoon hours with the greatest risk of strong, possibly a few severe storms to our east.  Nonethless don’t be surprised if we have a severe thunderstorm watch posted for portions of the area by mid-tomorrow morning through the mid-afternoon hours.  The severe weather dynamics do not appear as robust as they did last week, but they could phase nicely during the afternoon hours mainly for areas east of Acadiana.  So keep it tuned to KATC for the latest Tuesday.  I would expect most precipitation to end by late tomorrow afternoon.  Temperatures will hold in the low-mid 60s tonight courtesy of breezy SE winds and with the cloud deck that has moved in.  Tomorrow highs could reach the mid-upper 70s before another cool-down ensues tomorrow evening.  Wednesday looks nice while yet another quick-moving storms system will develop for Thursday.  Highest rain chances and the risk of severe weather should stay to our north, however we are in an active pattern, it’s spring-time, so rain chances could go up Thursday and perhaps again with the weather system that could arrive later this weekend.
