More of the same over the next few days with passing clouds, morning warm and afternoon Spring heat. This afternoon, there is an outside shot for a few showers north of I-20, but outside of that, most of the area should be dry.
As the next system tries to poke its nose into the area, it will likely lose a lot of steam and lay up as more of a stationary boundary. That means we could see a few days of hit and miss showers starting Friday and through the weekend.
Both Saturday and Sunday afternoons look to feature a decent shot for rain and storms. Though, as it looks like right now, the threat for severe storms is on the lower end of the scale.
Normally I would say, “We only have another few weeks of our ‘true’ severe weather season'” but, a bit like last year, I tend to think this year’s severe weather season may linger into May and perhaps even June. It won’t be as robust as last year’s, (given the available data) but we will still be dodging MCSs and fronts through mid-May at the very least.
