HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND

We have a good chance for some rain showers this weekend. Here is a look at the GFS weather model for Saturday night and Sunday morning. Notice the heavy showers over the entire viewing area. We will have warm temperatures aloft and even our temperatures at the surface should stay above freezing. Now we could be dealing with some areas of freezing rain for far NE OK and NW AR, but as we look at the surface temperatures at this exact time we can see that above freezing temperatures will be taking place over a majority of the region. Also, notice how strong the showers will be, but we are not forecasting thunderstorms. This precipitation will not have a lot of available energy, but it will have plenty of moisture to work with so we might be dealing with possible flooding. It's something that we will be watching very closely in the 40/29 SuperDoppler Weather Center.
