A pattern change is underway this weekend as the persistent Great Lakes trough departs east and the NW ridge drifts into the Interior W late tomorrow. Temperatures will rise across the Central US next week with few rain chances. A cut-off low will yield severe storm chances across Central TX tomorrow, a populated risk area. High temps likely touch 100F across the Central Valley of CA Monday before cooling next week. Ag Wx extends a very happy Mother's Day to the wonderful moms visiting the site!
