Forecast Discussion
An unsettled pattern begins developing on Thanksgiving and that will give us some of our best rain chances in some time. That wetter pattern will be with us through at least Saturday night, possibly lingering into the first half of the day Sunday. Then, mild temperatures will continue to settle into the region. As our next storm system organizes over the central plains on Tuesday, we’ll watch how that whole system moves our way. There is the potential for storms by Wednesday. It is unclear how strong those storms will be, but that’s something I’ll need to monitor over the coming days.
The Storm Prediction Center is already highlighting portions of the southern plains for severe storms on Tuesday. It is possible that the severe threat will shift eastward. I’ll keep an eye on it.
