03/30 Ryan’s “Post Severe” Thursday Night Forecast

Strong storms moved through the area today leaving behind some property damage, but no injures, and now our “post severe” weather pattern has begun. Expect a cooler night tonight in the upper 50s thanks to clear skies and rain-cooled air, with patchy fog developing during the early, calm morning hours. Tomorrow afternoon will be absolutely gorgeous. The afternoon high will reach 81 under cloudless skies, and northerly winds will bring in drier air, but don’t expect any cooler conditions behind this weak front. The beautiful weather carries over into Saturday and most of Sunday, but Sunday evening is a different story.

An upper level low digging drifting South from the Rockies will eventually aid in the development of a surface low in South Central Texas, which will bring a warm front from the Northern Gulf across the area overnight. This system is expected to be very moist, with strong upper level support. The initial, obvious threat with this system will be flash flooding and standing water, though it’s too early to rule out any other forms of severe weather as well. I’ll continue to monitor the situation through the weekend, until then just get out and enjoy this tomorrow’s beautiful weather!
