Severe weather has been non-existent across the United States for the past several days. However, AccuWeather meteorologists say that will be changing to end the weekend and begin the new workweek.
The weekend started off dry in Oklahoma and Texas, but that will begin to change as early as Saturday night. As moisture from the Gulf of Mexico begins to stream northward, showers and a few rumbles of thunder will develop over eastern Texas and expand northward by Sunday morning.
The initial risk of severe weather will develop farther to the west late on Sunday. As a cold front moves out of New Mexico and into Texas and Oklahoma and more moisture streams into the region, thunderstorms will blossom around or just after sunset on Sunday. As the front continues to move eastward, the environment will become more conducive for the thunderstorms to strengthen and turn strong to severe.
As the thunderstorms move farther eastward and continue through the night, they will present an additional hazard.
