Steady rains return Friday with storms, warmer pattern approaches!
Tonight keeps the skies mostly cloudy with a few pop-up showers before midnight. Those showers will dissipate in coverage after midnight, similar to what we saw last night. Temperatures will also drop to similar levels with lows once again in the mid 50s. Any town that sees a good break in the clouds for a couple of hours will be susceptible to fog formation once again, which could be dense in patchy spots.
Friday keeps scattered showers and storm chances high, as an area of low pressure follows along our stationary front. These setups occasionally can produce heavy rainfall with bouts of showers and storms moving over the same grounds. The Weather Prediction Center has placed our region in a level two slight risk for flooding with this setup expected.
The timing of the low pressure system moving through impacts our risk for storms – an earlier arrival provides less of a risk for storms, but an afternoon arrival provides the risk for a few strong storms.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed our region in a level one marginal risk for severe weather with this low pressure approaching – at this point, the low looks to arrive fairly late in our region which will shift the greatest severe weather risk farther east into Virginia but provide an isolated strong storm or two in our region during the afternoon. Scattered showers and storms will be expected though, and in more concentration than on Thursday, with highs in the mid to upper 60s.
Saturday sees a secondary cold front arrive from the north, providing more scattered showers for the region, especially early. Though we will have a soggy start to the weekend, this front will bring in nicer weather for the second half of the weekend and we will begin to see signs of this late Saturday as a drying pattern begins. High temperatures will be in the mid 60s.
A tick removal kit should be a staple in your house this spring
Sunday looks fantastic for any outdoor activities! We'll see plenty of sunshine with high pressure in control, along with drier air. It will be the perfect wrap to the weekend with highs in the upper 60s.
Monday continues the drier and gradual warmer trend with plenty of sunshine expected and high temperatures climbing up into the mid 70s.
Tuesday is also dry with a lot of sunshine expected and highs near 80 – an eastern U.S. high pressure system will allow the dry weather to continue and the heat to build.
Wednesday provides one more day of dry weather before the chances for rain increase as we head into Thursday. We will see high temperatures jump up into the low to mid 80s, as a real summer-like feel kicks in! Enjoy the warmth – and the warmer pattern ahead. An isolated risk for a storm is possible late in the day as our next system approaches.
Severe Weather Awareness Week 2025
Thursday brings the unsettled weather back into the picture with a Great Lakes low pressure system. Scattered showers and storms are possible with high temperatures in the upper 70s.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, we are shaping up to be much warmer. Though the pattern becomes a bit more unsettled once again Friday and Saturday, temperatures will remain in the 70s – and that warmth does not appear to be going away anytime soon. We will dry out by Sunday with plenty of sunshine and highs near 80.

Map Shows States Where People Told to Stay Indoors Today
People in eight states were advised to limit their outdoor activities on Wednesday due to poor air quality. In some instances, air quality was worsened by smoke from Canadian wildfires, and National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Prediction Center meteorologist Joe Wegman told Newsweekthat it would be unlikely for the smoke to completely leave the United States "anytime soon." This is the first time excessive Canadian wildfire smoke has significantly impacted U.S. air quality since 2023, when wildfires in the region worsened air quality to dangerous levels for millions in the Northeast. In smaller amounts, smoke can cause hazy skies and create beautiful sunsets and sunrises. However, in higher amounts, the smoke can be dangerous, even prompting alerts urging people to stay inside until it clears. Over the past week, unhealthy air quality has been detected across Upper Midwest states like Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. However, smoke was creating milky skies and vibrant sunsets as far south as the Gulf Coast. NWS alerts issued in several states on Tuesday anticipated the air quality to remain unhealthy at least through part of the day on Wednesday. In Minnesota, an air quality alert remains in effect until 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday morning. In Wisconsin, the current alert is extended slightly until noon. Meanwhile, the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Southern California issued an air quality alert because of windblown dust. That alert is set to expire at 5 a.m. local time. On Tuesday, air quality alerts related to the Canadian wildfire smoke were in effect for Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. New alerts were issued for Pennsylvania, Maine, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, although not all of these listed the smoke as the culprit. "A code orange air quality alert means that air pollution concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include suffering from asthma... heart disease or other lung the elderly," the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said. "The effects of air pollution can be minimized by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors." In some cases, people in the affected areas were urged to remain indoors and shut their windows to keep the smoke out of their homes. Particularly sensitive populations, such as those with asthma, were urged to take extra caution and monitor themselves for symptoms, such as coughing. An air quality alert issued in Wisconsin: "Sensitive groups: Consider rescheduling or moving all activities inside. Go inside if you have symptoms." An alert issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Tuesday: "Rain showers are not sufficient to clean the air-the smoke is too heavy and in too thick of a layer of the atmosphere." Although many alerts were set to expire on Wednesday, it is possible they will be reissued as the wildfires continue to burn. People in the affected areas should follow local guidance.

Strong to SEVERE storms could return this weekend
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Rain will be limited for most of the ArkLaTex during the next several days. That could change for much of the area this weekend, as strong to possibly severe storms threaten the northern edge of the area starting Saturday night. Late this week, a large upper-level ridge will set up over the Lower Mississippi Valley. The northern part of the ArkLaTex will be on the northern edge of this ridge. This may allow for some storms to graze the northern edge of the area. As of right now, the Storm Prediction Center indicates that we will have a level 2 slight severe weather risk on Saturday night. Damaging winds will be our main concern if we see any severe weather. That risk will shift to the south on Sunday and possibly Monday. Yesterday, I put my level of worry at 3 out of 10. Given that there is decent model agreement that storms will impact our area Saturday night, I will raise my worry level to 4 out of 10 for the northern third of the area, mainly in NE TX, SW AR, and SE OK. Storms will remain possible through next week, but given inconsistencies from model to model in the long-range, I'd put my worry level at 3 out of 10 for the rest of the 10-day period. We will also see the potential for heavy rain in scattered locations. The latest runs of the models regarding rainfall potential are similar to yesterday's runs through the first half of next week. With the threat of rain expected to continue through most of next week, the Blend of Models shows that most of the ArkLaTex will see at least 2' of rain from now through next Friday. Note that since we will be dealing with a bunch of smaller-scale disturbances, we likely will see adjustments to future outlooks. Stay Tuned!!Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Dry skies in northern Utah, chance of storms in the south
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Tuesday, Utah! It's a tale of two cities again today, with dry skies in northern Utah and the chance of storms in southern Utah. Temperatures will be close to seasonal norms statewide, or even slightly below average. Bottom Line? Cooler Tuesday with isolated storms for the southern part of the state. The start of the work week brought two systems working in tandem, with a low with tropical remnants embedded impacting the south as a cold front swept through the state. We currently have above-average moisture potential, so the chance of a hit-or-miss storm is possible. While storms won't be widespread, we still have an environment that supports heavy downpours, gusty winds and small hail. Our flash flood threat has decreased since Monday, but it still remains elevated. The setup allows for 'possible' flash flooding in areas like Grand Staircase, the Mighty 5, Buckskin Gulch and Paria Canyon. It's always important to be weather aware, so if you're recreating in southern Utah, know the risks or plan for another day of exploring, especially in low-lying areas. As we hit midweek, another surge of moisture is expected with a cut-off low-pressure system moving through the Desert Southwest. We will see another day of slow-moving storms with the flash flood threat likely increasing on Wednesday. The Weather Prediction Center is calling for a marginal risk for excessive rainfall in southern Utah on Tuesday, and pushes that threat further north for the midweek. We could even see a few storms make it to Northern Utah by the end of the work week, so stay tuned. We'll keep you posted on the latest updates in our 4Warn Weather, both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
