A WAVE OF SHOWERS HAS BEEN WORKING ITS WAY NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE  
AREA THIS MORNING. RAIN TOTALS SO FAR HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 0.25". THE  
SURFACE LOW IS ORGANIZING OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING AND  
IT WILL LIFT NORTHEAST AS THE DAY AND OVERNIGHT HOURS PROGRESS.  
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL INCREASE TO 1.3-1.5" THIS AFTERNOON  
AND EVENING LEADING TO SOME PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN PRIOR TO THE  
FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT. THE 12Z HREF HAS MEDIAN RAINFALL TOTAL  
THROUGH MIDDAY FRIDAY OF GREATER THAN HALF AN INCH BUT LESS THAN AN  
INCH FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. RAINFALL TOTALS INCREASE  
AS YOU MOVE NORTHWEST. MEDIAN VALUES IN HOUSTON, STEWART, AND  
MONTGOMERY COUNTIES ARE AROUND 2.5". THE HREF HAS A 30% CHANCE OR  
LESS THOSE SAME COUNTIES RECEIVE 3" OR GREATER. WITH THAT SAID,  
THE FLOODING CHANCES ARE LOW, SO A FLOOD WATCH WILL NOT BE ISSUED  
AT THIS TIME.  
 
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE TROUGH  
PASSES THROUGH THE AREA. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF EVEN SEEING A  
LOW-TOPPED THUNDERSTORM WITH THE COOL UPPER LEVEL TEMPERATURES.  
THE NBM HAS BEEN SLOW TO PICK UP THIS RAIN CHANCE BUT THE MAJORITY  
OF THE 12Z CAMS HAVE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM MID FRIDAY  
AFTERNOON THROUGH ABOUT 03Z SATURDAY.

(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)  
ISSUED AT 1116 AM CST THU JAN 30 2025  
 
SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT  
BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR EARLY  
FEBRUARY. SUNDAY LOOKS BEAUTIFUL WITH SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW  
INCREASING. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 60S ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THE  
SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES ON MONDAY WITH HIGHS A COUPLE DEGREES  
WARMER. THE NBM SHOWS ABOUT A 50% CHANCE THE SOUTHWESTERN PART OF  
THE AREA ALONG WITH THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA HIT AT LEAST 70  
DEGREES.  
 
MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME DISCREPANCIES REGARDING HOW FAR SOUTH A  
COLD AIR MASS MAKES OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THE EARLY  
WEEK. GEFS MEMBERS GENERALLY SHOW THAT AIR MASS MAKING A VISIT TO  
OUR AREA ON TUESDAY BEFORE LIFTING BACK NORTH BY WEDNESDAY. THE  
ENS AND GEPS MEMBERS GENERALLY KEEP THE COLD AIR FARTHER NORTH AND  
KEEPS OUR AREA WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. NBM TEMPERATURES REFLECT THE  
WARMER SOLUTION OF THE ENS AND GEPS.
