A developing storm system over the Southern Plains will move eastward through the Mississippi Valley over the next several days. Copious amounts of deep moisture combined with Friday's warm front moving slowly north across the area followed by an eastward trailing trough Friday evening and Saturday morning will lead to heavy rains...especially across interior Southeast Texas and central Louisiana. Rain should end Saturday morning.

A warm front and associated low pressure center to our north combined with ample Gulf moisture overhead will produce widespread showers and thunderstorms across the region today. Some storms could become severe through the afternoon, especially along and north of I-10 where an Enhanced Risk is in place. Best chance of rain looks to develop through the afternoon and evening hours. Gusty, damaging winds in upwards of 30 kts, large hail, and isolated tornadoes will all be possible.
