I am very uncomfortable with the level of precipitable water (or moisture available to make rain) on Wednesday and Thursday. I have triggered a Weather Authority Alert just to make sure we are prepared if complexes of storms dump heavy rainfall and cause localized flooding. This is NOT a guarantee of heavy rain; rather, conditions are favorable for heavy rain. Here’s your exclusive 9-Hour Forecast for Wednesday:
TONIGHT: The skies will be mostly cloudy to overcast. Expect scattered showers and t-showers. Some individual storms may produce brief, heavy rain. The east winds will range from 5-20 mph with occasional gusts. The low will drop to 66.
FORECAST: KTSM has issued a Weather Authority Alert due to the potential or threat of heavy rainfall from t-showers on both Wednesday and Thursday. A tremendous surge of tropical moisture is moving over the Borderland raising the possibility of heavier rainfall. Wednesday will be mostly cloudy to overcast with widely scattered showers and t-showers. Wednesday’s high: 86. Thursday will be partly cloudy and hotter with a high of 90. Though the skies will be mostly cloudy to overcast, moments of sunshine will peak through. Expect scattered t-showers with the potential for heavy rainfall. Friday the 4th of July will be a very different day. The moisture levels thin out as we heat up for the weekend. Friday will be 98 with a chance to see some distant lightning. Skies will be partly cloudy, and storm chances go way, way down. Saturday will be mostly sunny and 103 as a dome of high pressure quickly forms over the Borderland. Sunday will be partly cloudy and 100 with a very slight chance of isolated late day storms. Monday will be partly cloudy and 100 with isolated late day t-storms. Tuesday will be partly cloudy and 102.
