09/20/18 Update for the weekend
Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are still expected Friday through the weekend. Heavy rain and flooding will be the main concern though a low-end threat for strong to severe storms will also exist.
Overview
An upper-level disturbance and a slow-moving front will set the stage for widespread showers and thunderstorms, with the best rain chances beginning Friday afternoon. Abundant Gulf moisture and an added mix of Pacific moisture will combine to produce heavy rainfall. The heavy rain threat will be mainly from the I-20 corridor northward to the Red River. In addition, a few strong to severe storms cannot be ruled out, particularly south of I-20 where the better instability will be located.
