Friday will be quite similar weather wise to Thursday, with
scattered showers and thunderstorms once again developing from

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through Thursday)

An upper low over Baja will lift northeast across west Texas and
into Kansas Saturday and Sunday. Shower and thunderstorm chances
will expand across the entire forecast area during the day
Saturday, with coverage and intensity likely increasing Saturday
night and Sunday. Locally heavy rainfall will be the main threat,
but a few strong to severe storms will also be possible,
especially Sunday. Shower and storm chances will persist into
Monday as well, mainly across the eastern part of the forecast
area.

Once this system clears out next week, an upper ridge will build
over the area and the heat and humidity will ramp up. Afternoon
heat index values may reach or exceed 105 degrees in some places,
and heat headlines may be required next week.
