A CLOSED ISOBAR

As has been the case over the past two months, once again our weather over the week ahead will be largely decided by the movement of an upper level Low over Texas. This cut-off feature is already producing strong storms across parts of north central Texas and a flash flood watch is in effect due to the slow movement of the Low.

We'll continue to see a feed of Gulf moisture move into our area and this coupled with daytime heating will produce wide-spread showers and t-storms by the afternoon. Storm movement today will be to the north northeast and some gusty winds, perhaps mixed with a little small hail will be possible, though the primary threat will be localized flooding. With the amount of moisture that we have in place and the slow movement of the storms, rainfall amounts as high as an inch or greater are possible. Please use caution if you get caught driving through one of the storms and remember, do not attempt to cross flooded roadways!
