Hot, humid holiday weekend ahead of possible storms on Memorial Day
Happy Saturday, North Texans!
The day starts warm and humid with temperatures in the upper 70s.
Morning clouds will clear for afternoon sunshine with temperatures in the mid-90s.
A breezy southerly wind won't do much to keep you cool as it feels like temperatures near 100.
Very similar conditions are expected Sunday with partly cloudy skies and highs, once again, in the mid-90s.
If you are grilling for lunch, you don't have to worry about any storms, but by the evening, a few storms will begin to bubble up in North Texas.
Sunday evening into Monday will be First Alert Weather Days as storms move in from the northwest, making for a bumpy end to the holiday weekend.
The severe threat increases for our northwest areas around sunset Sunday and expands to include all of North Texas on Memorial Day.
The main threats are large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain with localized flooding. But the tornado threat is not zero.
Storms will increase in coverage overnight Sunday into Monday morning.
Current model trends have a break in precipitation during the midday hours before another round develops in the afternoon.
Please remain weather aware and have multiple ways to get warnings.
This is the start of an unsettled pattern that runs through next week. Some areas could see nearly 3" of rain by Friday.
The benefit of the clouds and storms is cooler temperatures with highs staying in the lower 80s for most of next week.
Have a safe weekend!

Allegan County: Damage from storms is $2.2 million
ALLEGAN, Mich. (WOOD) — Allegan County's emergency management agency says its preliminary assessment has estimated some $2.2 million in damage caused by the severe storm that spawned two tornadoes in the county last week. NWS confirms 2 tornadoes in Allegan County on Thursday The county's Emergency Operations Center put together the preliminary assessment to submit to the office of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who may decide whether to issue a state emergency or disaster declaration. If issued, a state or federal disaster declaration would open up access to resources for recovery. The county already declared a local state of emergency. The EOC says it found $440,000 in direct expenses and damage to local government property that fall under Michigan State Police administrative rules for possible reimbursement. Allegan County community reacts to state of emergency The National Weather Service has confirmed two EF1 tornadoes touched down in Allegan County on the night of May 15. One was in the Martin area and the other was near the Sandy Pines campground. As of Wednesday, the EOC said it was not aware of any federal financial assistance for businesses or residents with property damage. It advised people to contact their insurance company. Additional resources may be available by calling 211 or through the American Red Cross, which is reachable at (733.27677). The tornado that marched through Martin sent trees crashing down, damaged some homes and knocked out power for days. 'Trees across the road,' street commissioner Rick Martin said. 'You couldn't go in or out of Martin at 11 p.m., 12 p.m.' He estimated cleanup costs at $250,000 — but said it will end up being less than that because neighbors, people who grew up there, friends and family have stepped up. Neighbor David Cheeseman said he saw it firsthand. 'In the middle of the night, neighbors were out helping clean things up,' Cheeseman said. 'The whole town's been that way. I've always liked it here, but now I love it.' Cheeseman planted a tree before he even closed on his Martin home 20 years ago. It has grown taller and taller as the years have passed and as he built a life there. Now, that special tree will soon come down after it was rocked by the tornado. 'It was 30 feet tall until Thursday night,' he said. Cheeseman said the governor declaring a disaster and offering access to more resources for recovery could be helpful. 'There are people that are going to need help for sure,' he said. While the street commissioner also said the extra help would be beneficial, he again praised his community. 'Any help that comes along, we're not going to turn it down by any means,' he said. 'But the community here has cleaned it up. You talk to anybody, it's family. It's just the way it is.' Crews are trying to finish cleanup before Monday's annual Memorial Day parade through Martin, which includes veterans, the high school band and tractors. It's a priority for the village to keep the parade on. 'It's a goal of the (department of public works), the village of Martin to have this to make sure life goes on,' the street commissioner said.

Pacers' flight to OKC diverted to Tulsa due to tornado warning
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Indiana Pacers' first trip to the NBA Finals in 25 years took a short detour Tuesday when the team's chartered airplane was diverted to Tulsa due to a tornado warning in the vicinity of Oklahoma City's Will Rogers International Airport, a team source told The Athletic. The Pacers, who will play the Thunder in Game 1 on Thursday, landed safely in Tulsa, about 110 miles from Oklahoma City, after a tornado tore through the area at about 5 p.m. local time. Advertisement It was only a short delay — the Pacers were taxiing to leave Tulsa at 5:45 p.m. Severe thunderstorms are forecast for Oklahoma City for the rest of Tuesday evening, complicating travel for hundreds of media and vendors heading here for the finals. Planes approaching Will Rogers just before the storm hit had to fly around towering cumulus clouds and strong winds, with predictable turbulence felt by passengers as the aircraft dipped and ducked to find safer air. The airport briefly lost power as the storm approached and outbound flights were grounded for about an hour. The Associated Press reported that at least one tornado was spotted near the University of Oklahoma, about 23 miles south of Oklahoma City, on Tuesday afternoon. But it was not known if the tornado touched down or caused damage. On Saturday, the Pacers beat the New York Knicks in Game 6 to win their first Eastern Conference championship since 2000. Wednesday is NBA Finals media day, in which both teams practice on the game court and take questions from reporters.

Oil Holds Gains With Focus on US Inventories, Canada Wildfires
Oil steadied after two days of gains as a US industry group signaled a decline in nationwide crude inventories and rain slowed the growth of some blazes that had shut in Canadian production. West Texas Intermediate traded near $63 a barrel after adding more than 4% in the previous two sessions, while Brent closed above $65. The American Petroleum Institute reported stockpiles fell by 3.28 million barrels last week, according to a person familiar. That would be the biggest draw since March if confirmed by official data later on Wednesday.
