Storm Chances Pick Up Again

Its a fine day in May, more clouds by afternoon and more humid than yesterday but storm chances stay to the west, southwest of the metro area:

The storms die out quickly by evening, should be a fine view of the full moon tonight. It's a "Blue Moon"; not because it's the 2nd full moon of the month (the typical definition) but because it's the FOURTH full moon of Spring (typically there are three).

May is our wettest month of the year and it has been true to form. Save for the last two Fridays we've had some kind of rain at DFW Airport every day for the last two weeks. The weather pattern gets right back to active however. Starting tomorrow we have appreciable chances for rain every day to Memorial Day:

Tomorrow is an interesting day in regards to the difficulty of the forecast. Half of the computer models show a cluster of storms forming over the panhandle of Texas tonight and rolling into north Texas tomorrow. If this pans out then the rain chances are much higher (about 60%) and highs much lower (upper 70's by mid-day then cooler).

Right now I'll go with a forecast that calls for dry line thunderstorms out west moving in by evening. This means we'll get into the mid-80's again tomorrow. We'll have mostly cloud skies:

Storms won't be necessarily numerous this week but they have a chance for being severe. Here is what the SPC is thinking for tomorrow and Monday: putting half of the metro area into a "slight" risk category:

The storm chances stick around all week. Chances are smaller on Tuesday and Wednesday with a stronger cap in place they pick up again as we close in on Memorial Day weekend:

Temperatures will stay in the 80's in the week ahead as we draw closer and closer to the summer heat:
