There's still a chance...

We aren't giving up hope just yet on some rain for Sunday night. There's so much humidity coming straight out of the Gulf of Mexico it's hard to imagine not getting something to develop Sunday night. Just look at the dew points (a measure of how much moisture is in the air), and when they get above 55, there's more than enough humidity to get rain. This is a very rich connection with the Gulf of Mexico.

What's interesting about this weekend storm. If it were the middle of April or May, we'd have our hands full with severe storms. The setup would normally favor hail, wind, and tornadoes, but because it's early March and the timing isn't quite right, chances of any severe weather are rather low.

Our Future Track is showing this for Sunday night. 


Where the rain is likely needed the most (SW Kansas), there won't be any moisture to speak of with the next storm.

Coming up next week, we will get into what La Nina is up to and look ahead to the middle of March.
