Happy Tuesday everyone! It has been another beautiful, sunny, and mild day across the South Plains but as we move into this evening, the ridge will move out of the area, allowing cloud cover with increase this evening and storm chances to return to the forecast by early Wednesday. These storm chances will continue through early Friday morning with heavy rainfall, low visibilities, and flooding expected throughout Wednesday and Thursday. The Storm Prediction Center has placed us under the Marginal Risk category for strong to severe storms with the possibility of large hail and damaging wind gusts so make sure to stay weather aware.
Temperatures will be greatly impacted by the increased cloud cover and storms with lows moving way above average in the mid to upper 50’s throughout the remainder of the work week and highs remaining at or below average through Thursday. However, as storm chances clear out Friday morning, high temperatures will be given the chance to rebound back above average just in time for the holiday weekend.
Over the Easter weekend we are expecting lots of sunshine but with ample moisture continuing to reside over the region, we will continue to watch for potential pop up storms through the beginning of next week.
