On/off weekend rain… Strong/severe storms possible Monday!

On November 2, 2024By Littum

This weekend looks pretty cloudy and a bit gloomy with occasional light rain and maybe a few thunderstorms in the afternoon. The big weather changes and more impactful storms won’t hit until Monday when our next cold front slides through. Severe weather is possible Monday, including damaging winds, spin-up tornadoes and localized flooding, especially along/east of I-35 during the afternoon hours. Keep an eye on the weather forecast until Monday!

Today you can expect some cloud cover and drizzle starting the weekend, with a chance of light rain this morning. In the afternoon, things could get a bit more active, especially east of I-35, but we likely won’t see any severe weather just yet. That said, there is a *chance* for a stronger storm or two to form this afternoon, especially if the sun tops out at times during the day.

Jumping to Sunday, expect a similar pattern – morning clouds and light rain with some afternoon storms potentially moving in from the west. Damaging winds, hail and locally heavy rain are the concerns of a few storms. The real action will come late Sunday into Monday, with a significant round of thunderstorms expected to bring severe weather and localized flooding.

Monday could see a strong line of storms as a cold front descends through central Texas. There is a risk of damaging winds and possibly even tornadoes, especially east of I-35. It’s a good idea to be aware and have ways to receive weather updates. After the front passes Monday night, expect cooler and drier weather for a few days. We see the rain end Tuesday morning and we start the day in the 50s. 40s in the morning for Wednesday!

Highs on Election Day should be in the upper 60s/low 70s with drier conditions expected, but watch for a new storm system approaching later this week that will keep us in a wet/active pattern.
