It is something we’re watching closely as a strong southwesterly flow will increase moisture to air ratios over the area by the end of the weekend. A fairly strong low pressure system will develop to our west along with stronger winds aloft and a weak cold front will all come together to produce a possible severe outbreak over the southern Plains on Sunday. The storm system expected to weaken as it heads our way by late Monday, however, A few storms may hold together or become strong over the area late Monday.
