This will prod
uce another round of severe weather for the southern Plains. It will reach us by Friday morning.
The NAM 3Km is showing the rain arriving locally after 8 AM.
I would plan for rain anytime in the morning, and lasting most of the day.
The Euro is showing the rain already in place at dawn, and pulling through all day. Temps will remain steady and chilly.
Showers linger Saturday, then we clear out Sunday, but remain cool.
At this point, Thursday will be a break between storms.
Friday will be storms, and Saturday the back end of wind and showers.
Sunday= Halloween! This may turn out to be a treat with another break for quiet weather.
