Outside of some patchy drizzle this morning, things look generally dry today, albeit a bit cloudy. Some folks may see some brief rain, but it looks like any potential for organizaed storms will be to the north.
The National weather Service and Storm Prediction Center have highlighted sections north of I-20 with a Marginal Risk for severe weather — the main threat today looks to be brief heavy rain, lightning, gusty wind and small hail.
For everyone else, it looks like some clouds and warmth is going to be the name of the game.
In fact, most of us should stay dry for today and tomorrow, before a better shot for rain arrives on Saturday. So far it looks like areas north of HWY 98 have the best chance for rain on Saturday, but it can’t be ruled out across the entire area.
Then Sunday we all get a decent shot for a bit of rain.
The good news is that it looks like this round of rain won’t come with a shot for muc – if any – severe weather. Sure, its April, we can’t rule it out completely. But the potential isn’t terribly high at all.
Then, as we roll into next week things calm back down and temperatures remain seasonably warm.
