Showers, Thunderstorms, Warmer Weather Likely
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely in the area on many of the next several days, while temperatures continue running near to slightly above normal.
There were isolated showers Thursday afternoon along and south of a Nacogdoches- Monroe, La. Line. These developed along the sea-breeze front. On Friday, the sea-breeze front should penetrate as far north as the IH-20 Corridor, bringing showers that far north.
The stronger front Friday will be the result of a weak tropical disturbance moving westward through the Gulf of Mexico. Shower coverage Friday should run under 20 percent, with amounts under one-fourth inch. Coverage may approach 50 percent Saturday, with amounts of up to one inch and a few perhaps higher.
There could be some occurrences of damaging wind Friday evening along and north of the IH-30 Corridor. As far south as Tyler, severe weather is not expected.
Thursday was again warm and humid in the region.
