FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS
- GUSTY WINDS: Breezy until Easter Sunday
- STORMS POSSIBLE: Isolated in nature Saturday, Saturday Night, and early Easter Sunday
FORECAST
It’s no secret we’re in the midst of fairly serious drought, but it’s being made worse thanks to the fact we are in pumping season AND April is a month we often rely on for rain. Any chances of rain this weekend will be on the low end.
‘COOLER’ TODAY
A weak front will continue to eased through the area earlier today causing lower humidity and a return to lower 80s this afternoon. That’s after a five day streak of 90° or warmer.
GUSTY WINDS
That front will lift back to the north tomorrow, bringing a return of southerly winds. Those south winds will become gusty and they’ll stay that way through Saturday. Gusts of up to 30 mph will be common. Those same winds will usher in more humidity, especially by Thursday into Friday. That means a return of morning clouds.
STORM CHANCES
We do have a window for storms starting Friday night and continuing through Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the low pressure system responsible for giving lift to those storms will be north of the area. That means anything we see will be isolated. The best odds for rain will arrive Saturday evening and continue through early Sunday morning (30%). Most of Easter looks sunny with dropping humidity.
EASTER CAMPING FORECAST
Here are the main concerns if you plan to camp out for the Easter weekend:
AQUIFER, RIVERS IN BAD SHAPE
The aquifer continues to drop, reaching levels we haven’t seen in a while. Stage 3 water restrictions remain in place for SAWS customers. River flows are also suffering, with several spots along the Guadalupe seeing well-below-average flows.
