Pretty benign weather this week. There will be a few shots for storms, but it looks like while severe weather is possible this weekend, it doesn’t look likely by any means. Just riding the weather roller coaster of temperatures going from mild to cool. Beats tornadoes, that’s for sure!
We will have another cold morning on Friday with most folks waking up around 30 degrees. so cover up those plants that don’t like the cold.
For those concerned about the chance for storms, the threat for any kind of severe weather will wait until Sunday as the second cold front moves through the area. As it does so, it will allow some Gulf moisture to ooze north. And that will allow some moderate instability and weak shear to overlap.
This will be another conditional, low-end event fo the Gulf Coast where the threat is low and the potential for significant severe weather is also low. But we can’t rule out the chance for some wind gusts up to 60mph or a brief weak tornado.
But I really want to stress here that the potential for those things to occur is very low.
And, in fact, there isn’t much on the horizon (within the available data) that screams “severe weather” through January 20th. So that is good, too!
