Its going to be sometime over the weekend. Big storms near dallas, over the red ifr into oklahoma, oklahoma city. Severe thunderstorms are underway. High pressure off our east coast. The high acting like a heat pump and pushing up southeast winds over the state. West of us. Tomorrow looks good. Wednesday the same. Low to mid80s. Good beach days. By thursday and friday its all going to be about the timing of this cold front as it slowly moves our way. The models are kind of all over the place. Some on saturday. Some on sunday. What better idea on the timing tomorrow or wednesday. Nevertheless there will be showers and thundershowers moving our way. Big problems though the next day or two in the deep south. Look at computer model forecast. Eightandahalf inches of rain in lake charles. Six in shreveport. There will be flooding and Severe Weather as well. Right now 68. The dew point is 53.
