East Texas (KLTV/KTRE) – Here is a look at the weather where you live: Good morning, East Texas! It is a warm and muggy start to our Thursday as most are waking up in the middle 60s. Some spotty showers will be possible at times today so it wouldn’t hurt to keep the umbrella close by to be safe. This afternoon we will see another round of extra warm temperatures as highs climb into the lower 80s. Storm chances will be on the increase through the afternoon and evening hours, mainly for our farther northwestern counties due to a tricky storm set up. Storms are not guaranteed to break through the cap near DFW, but if they can form, they will develop quickly, producing very large hail, damaging winds, and potentially isolated tornadoes. It is important to be weather alert later today just to be safe. We’ll be watching the skies closely. More rain is expected overnight and throughout the day Friday as a weak cold front slowly pushes through East Texas, leading to pockets of heavy to very heavy rainfall and potentially some severe wind gusts and pocket change sized hail. Severe or not, tomorrow’s storms will likely be very disruptive on a Friday, so please plan ahead and have extra time to drive slowly and safely on wet roads with low visibilities. Heavy showers will be possible at times on Saturday, although coverage will not be as widespread compared to what we’ll see on Friday. A few more heavy showers will be possible for Deep East Texas on Sunday (St. Patrick’s Day), then we’ll finally dry out for our Monday and Tuesday of next week.
