we start this newon with late breaking news on the city's far Southwest side so let's get right to trans guide let's take a look at this it looks as though some sort of a TR crane rather has fallen on the highway itself and it's on top of a car this is happening on I35 North just past 16004 it's near Benton City Road officials are saying that the highway has had to close as a result of this and it might just stay this way for hours we're keeping an eye on the crash throughout the show we'll give
you an update as soon as we get new information also right now San Antonio police are investigating the death of a man in his 60s early this morning he was killed in a driveby shooting and here is video from that scene this was after the shooting of course according to police the man was inside his home on West French place not too far from woodlon Avenue 10 to 15 shots were fired from a dark vehicle here the man shot in the head and was killed police know where at least two of the people in th
at car or there were at least two people in the car but all they know about them is that they were the shooters we will continue to follow this developing story we'll bring you more information coming up at 5 and 6 tonight San Antonio police say this man 65-year-old Steve Roco is now behind bars and facing a murder charge according to an affidavit Roco allegedly shot and killed 60-year-old darl bird last month at an apartment complex on the Southeast side and basically to say Rocco was upset tha
t bird took a woman out for the night and shot him Rocco allegedly told bird quote I've done 30 years I'm not afraid of doing it again Rocco has a long list of charges in bar County dating back to the 80s including theft and burglary we're going to take a look outside with live cam it is murky out there a little Misty that's about all I've seen out there so far Justin yeah just the light stuff right and ful miss a lot of humidity but this is going to set the stage for some showers and storms thi
s evening now the one question we have is Will these clouds break and will we see a little bit of sun it's possible that we could see some sun and that will really boost temperatures this afternoon but you see where the showers are right now up across parts of North Texas and we've got some shower activity out across Far West Texas that's the storm system getting a little bit closer let me show you today's high temperatures we think probably upper 80s here in San Antonio again this is very depen
dent on how long these clouds low clouds hang around out West though where there is more sun places like Laredo could jump over a 100° today it shows you uh just how Dynamic the system is with cooler weather in the Texas Panhandle so what is the risk for severe weather this is new From The Storm Prediction Center and it shows the highest risk up here around Oklahoma City Tulsa parts of Oklahoma where there could be a tornado outbreak this afternoon further south though along this front we're on
the tail end of things but there is a risk for some strong storms here between 8:00 pm. and midnight that darker yellow color represents a two on a scale of 1 to five so it's a little elevated hail would be the main threat if we do see some stronger storms tonight we're going to talk much more about this in the week ahead as well coming up in just a few minutes thank you Justin and despite that rain chance tonight Wildfire danger it's on the mind of many people in bar County and some are prepari
ng and that's the right thing to do the firewise community in Calo concerned a wildfire could start and spread easily because it is dry and there's a lot of brush around the area the firewise USA program gives people the tools to minimize the spread of potential wildfires and you can do your own Wildfire prevention efforts in your yard uh things like cleaning your roof spreading out trees and shrubs in uh keeping your grass cut low the idea of creating these zones uh is to slow down the Wildfire
to give the fire department a chance to get ahead of the Wildfire now you can read more about Wildfire prevention by heading over to our website kat.com a live look right now in Baltimore as cleanup efforts are continuing there following the collapse of the Francis Scott keybridge last week you can see some of the cranes right there trying to remove some of the debris now the captain the port says they will be opening a temporary alternate channel to help with the flow of marine traffic in and
out of the port ABC's Perry russom has more for us the captain of the Port of Baltimore says they're preparing to open a temporary Channel near keyi bridge for commercially essential vessels a phased approach to reopening the port still clogged by the downed bridge and cargo ship today steady rain slowing the cleanup over the weekend blow torches blasting through steel beams Crews breaking the bridge into smaller pieces to be hauled away a slow careful Balancing Act you have to do it in a way th
at doesn't cause portions of the bridge that are that are there across the water to shift uh they've been under a lot of compression and tension uh they could behave almost like a spring if they are not expertly managed adding to the complexity a natural gas pipeline running underneath the crash site pressure in the pipeline has been reduced as Crews work above Governor West Moore with ABC's aachi we have to be smart we've got to be safe we have to make sure we're protecting these First Responde
rs and these people who are working on it uh and at the same time we have to move with a measurement of speed because we have got to get this channel open the channel is vital to the supply chain both nationally and globally both cargo and passenger ships are being redirected to other ports including this Carnival Cruise Ship Carnival was simply looking for a safe Port of Harbor the ship carrying nearly 2600 passengers intended to be docked in Baltimore rerouted to norfol Virginia passengers put
in buses for a 4-Hour ride to their original destination we're going to have a lot longer drive home now today the small business administration will open a center to help companies affected by the bridge collapse still be giving out loans to help with money lost President Biden is expected to visit the site this week Perry russum ABC News Washington still coming up S I'm tell you FC rolling right along early in the soccer season once again we're going to take a look at trans guide real quick a
nd show you this crash at I35 looks like involved a crane or a light pole we're trying to figure it out out for you yeah it kind of looks like a construction uh site uh we are going to take you now live with Garett burer who is with our chief you can check out the wreck right behind me we're on the Northbound lanes and you can see that there's actually a wrecker here ready to take that car away car right behind it we're just a few feet away and we're here visiting with the chief of the Von ory p
olice uh L perz he's been on scene here he's going to tell us a little bit about more more about what happened so Chief what caused this crash so at some point um there was a bucket truck Tex bucket truck that was working on the median and at some point um one of the gentlemen that was working was trying to adjust the bucket and at that point the whole truck tilted over and landed on a vehicle that was traveling Northbound as you can see um that black vehicle um yeah were there any injuries when
when this came over was anybody in the bucket obviously there was someone in the car um thank God nobody was in the bucket uh there was one gentleman in his 60s that was working uh down at the base of the light pole they were trying to replace and so when uh the bucket truck fell um it nearly missed him but he only had minor injuries um and then the two people that were in the vehicle two females ages in the 30s um they were transported to the hospital with minor injuries as well so nothing lif
e-threatening at least uh right nothing life-threatening um they should be able to recover from from the wreck um it was minor minor minor injuries I mean that's pretty miraculous looking at that vehicle I mean just coming in from the southbound lanes and now that we're we're close up here you can see just that that crane crushed the front of that that car so how lucky are we to be hearing that nobody's having life-threatening injuries I mean that's it's it's that's what you call look cuz if I b
elieve that if that vehicle had not the bucket truck had not landed where did land and it would have landed on top of the roof of the vehicle it would we'd be looking at a totally different situation right now so that's a matter of inches matter of milliseconds when it's say when it's coming down on a speeding car at the vehicle with the vehicle traveling Northbound at its speed and then that the rate that the bucket truck fell I mean for it to land right where it landed that's that's God being
on their side I'm kidding all right so right now it looks like they're still kind of uh it's still pretty blocked off here we've noticed that Northbound traffic's being diverted onto the access road how long do you expect this area to be closed off for I would say um I know right now the chak onone is working on getting assistance from another tow truck company uh to possibly get the beam cut off um so that might delay a little bit longer um but if they're able to work on it maybe uh maybe an ho
ur or two any indication on what caused the truck to tip I mean raising and lowering the bucket it shouldn't be tipping over at that point right was something not set proper ly is there any indication of why it fell over um we're still working on that at this point trying to gather more information I know uh the officers that are doing the investigation didn't get a chance to really talk to uh the people that were from teot um but other than that um there's really no other indication showing why
exactly that happened um I've heard of it happening before but at in this incident I'm not I'm not too sure on it yet what's it on so I see that there's a bit of a dip on that Medium between the southbound and Northbound lanes and that's where they set up on the grassy area or they set up on the tar uh they were on the grassy area so it seems like there's kind of a it's uneven at that point was it just set up at too much of an angle or still trying to determine I'm not I'm not sure exactly the
I mean you can see the placement on it uh from where it tilted um I'm not too sure how much of the angle played into it um but it was on on the grassy median where it is kind of tilted all right but at this point you're not looking at this as a criminal case it's just an accident no it's just an accident there's no criminal case uh pending or we're not looking at it any criminal nature or anything like that all right well thank you so much Chief peris I want to take you closer we're going to get
a little bit closer more of an angle on where that crash is do you mind if we go by here Chief here we're going to come around this other end of the truck here so you can kind of see even up close just how much they got lucky that is an enormous brain that boom coming down right on top of that black car it's hitting the engine block it looks like it stopped right before the passenger compartment as you just heard the chief say is miraculous that they walked away or at least were taken away with
just minor injuries at this point we're going to bring you the latest as we cut as we continue to cover this crash but for now live on the southwest side I'm Garrett berer katwal news all right thank you very much Garrett just look at that crash those people were very lucky that nobody had some serious issu he was not kidding a matter of seconds a matter of inches uh very lucky folks there today uh we'll be lucky if we get any rain out of this weather system we're dealing with we're hoping ther
e is a window tonight for some rain it may come with a little bit of severe weather too that's another issue that we're watching but yes hopefully just some rain out of this that would be really nice to help the aquafer which is holding steady of today at 6398 in your polling count Oak came down a little bit today it's 5320 but molds went up so it was a trade-off 650 moderate for molds and uh we have pean in the low category we're going to talk about our rain chances tonight the severe weather a
nd the weather for the rest of week plus the eclipse forecast coming [Music] up all right we just wrapped up Easter so it can't be an Easter question anymore it's Cesar Chavez Day Cesar Chavez Day so my question is who's who's Mike's by himself he he's in Fiesta mode oh my gosh look at that I think this is the earliest I've ever had my uh my metal Sash on here yes indeed and I've already got some really really neat ones as well they're all fantastic all right now the question is as we prepare CU
Believe It or Not Fiesta starts two weeks from this Thursday Fiesta Fiesta yeah uh Fiona and I are going to be out there again M seeing the big event it's at the uh HV Plaza at the Alamo Dome this year so a new location but how do you wear your Fiesta medals how do you guys wear them I like the sash idea that's the easiest way to go I usually pick out a couple very important ones and just wear them on my shirt at a time you know and and it depends on the event sometimes too cuz sometimes sashes
can get a little heavy and then the other thing too is you got to make sure you put them on the back too so you're not like just stooped over this way it kind of keeps you all balanced out and and there's hats and people wear sport coats covered with them and everything so send us your pictures as well that's a good idea that I made a wreath out of old medals one time that was boy you had to have a a hefty nail to hang that wreath up I bet I was going to say or railroad spike or something like
that yes it is quite heavy so anyway and in honor of fiesta we have got Fiesta royalty on the show today so we'll be talking with him all right looking forward to that thank you Mike see you in a few minutes so Justin how do you wear your medals I'm kind of like you I just the important ones you know but maybe I should invest in a sash maybe this is a year for you bet yes you've been here long enough I should uh we're getting ready for a fiesta season we know it can be kind of volatile weatherwi
se as we get into the spring today's could be one of those days 75 degrees due point is at 69 that number is Sky High with southsouth easts at about 11 mph we're still socked in with clouds and you can see that here on the visible satellite picture now we got some high clouds over top of some low clouds but we are noticing some clearing now places like Del Rio it's going to be awful hot today parts of the country and I do eventually think we'll get some sun here in San Antonio but it's probably
going to take a little more time before that happens and that we have a big bearing on where temperatures go today 75 right now but if we see some sun that number will jump up already pushing 80 and Pleasanton already in the 80s places like kesa Springs and catua those are also two spots that will be very warm this afternoon we're closing in on 80 and a few spots here in Bear County too uh Rand 79 78 down there at Stinson here's what we're thinking temperature wise and I did adjust this number d
own just a little bit to account for the clouds we think 88 here in town but I there will be some 90s on the map and don't be surprised if you see a few triple digits out there on the Rio Grand it's going to be a hot humid afternoon that energy though could eventually lead to some thunderstorms and here's why we have that energy building across Texas with a storm system just off to the West it's already producing rain and snow in the higher elevations of New Mexico and some showers across parts
of Oklahoma but this is an area that really is going to be under the gun a little bit later today so this area you see in dark orange that's where severe weather is likely today that includes Tulsa uh Fort Smith Oklahoma City that area of Oklahoma could see actually an outbreak of severe weather now further south along this front uh where we are there is a chance for some strong to severe storms it's just that we're going to be on the tail end of things so I think our Windows a little smaller an
d the geographical area in which we could see severe weather is a little smaller uh between 8:00 and midnight that's kind of the time frame I'm putting on there and it's that darker yellow where we have the higher risk of severe weather but on a scale of 1 to five it's a two versus up there in Oklahoma where it's a four uh as we look at the forecast here and we'll put it in motion go to 5:00 not a lot out there but we start to see some of those breaks right uh then by 7 8:00 that's when we start
to see some of these storms popping up and this is where one or two of those could start to become strong or severe uh that goes through about midnight and then this will start to push East by 2: a.m. and then out of here by tomorrow morning in drier air will begin to work in uh we'll see almost a sunny day tomorrow it'll be really nice what are the main threats with these storms I think it's probably going to be hail if we get anything at all uh winds would be next in line but it's only a slig
ht risk flooding and tornado risk is honestly rather low uh so hail is what we'll kind of focus on with some of these stronger storms and the dupoint train yes very very humid today and then by tomorrow it's very dry we get two points in the 30s humidity levels fall way off before they build Again by the weekend so tomorrow we're going to go sunny and 80 uh we'll start off at 58 it will be a bit Breezy to almost windy at times uh 77 Wednesday we start off at 49 48 Thursday morning so great week
ahead uh then we start to get some more clouds by the weekend and we add in some rain chances you'll notice that on Sunday we have a 30% chance of rain so what about Monday ecli day I got to tell you we have some rain chances clouds the threat for clouds the risk is increasing a little bit but let's not get too negative just yet things could change and we still can see the eclipse even if there are clouds so it's still going to be okay guys all right all the more reason to keep an eye on it than
k you Justin hey the spur trying to keep their wiy streak alive but Steph Curry was in town last night highlights coming [Music] up hey for the first time this season the Spurs on a three-game winning streak when they hosted The Warriors last night no soan Vel or Kellin all wimy last night finishing off the alleyoop coming up right here where is it first off we going to jump it here we go see there here's the AL look just Dart down to the basket and wait for the ball that's all you got to do lat
er on Zack Collins Off the Bench that's a three ball eight in the first quarter for Zach Spurs up 34-27 after one second quarter wimy off the rebound Sandro Mamu kis yeah where's he been he KS Off the Bench for that big one eight points seven rebounds for him at the half then check out wimy with the pass to cheddy Osman Baseline Spurs LED 6052 at halftime third quarter whoops all Warriors Steph Curry with the catch and shoot how many times you seen that then is Klay Thompson dish to Curry for a
step back three wo Curry to Moses Moody for the all alone dunk where's Mo there he goes oh little little mistake on the defense Warriors up 8981 after three fourth quarter check out the wimy backing down Trace Jackson Davis for the slaming the foul God those arms are long aren't they Wiman y had a team High 32 the Warriors largest lead was 13 but the Spurs cut that down asman makes the three the Warriors lead is cut to four with less than 45 to play Golden State by two Klay Thompson makes the th
ree after the Miss and that'll seal it for the Warriors Spurs fall 117 to 113 now 18 and 57 on the seasons up next they are taking on the defending champ Denver Nuggets that's coming up tomorrow night at 8:00 and then they go to New Orleans all right talking about being on a roll San Antonio started the season with two draws they have now won two in a row at home safc got on the board first thanks to Carter Manley then in the 86 minutes Kevan Lambert scored to make it 2-1 wi give s Anon eight po
ints in the standings and with Orange County SC and Sacramento Republic FC for the first place in the west each of those teams have the exact same record after four games so congratulations to them next up for safc they take on the Las Vegas lights FC that Saturday in Las Vegas via fancy yep all right still ahead in our next half hour We're continuing our Sports coverage we're going to take a look at the brahmas or is it the bras first home game [Music] April 1 known for a few things but it is a
lso Cesar Chavez Day and there will be a good amount of city services closed today to recognize the holiday Public Safety and Emergency Services will remain in operation but here's some organizations that are closed all libraries the city of San Antonio community centers all Metro Health Clinics and offices the Carver Community Cultural Center neighborhood and housing Services plus a lot more you can see the entire list what is all open and closed today all you got to do is head over to our webs
ite ket.com and we are hoping that the heavens open today uh looks like an unstable weather situation we have here yeah chance for a few storms now I will caution you I don't think we're going to get a ton of rain out of this but there could be some spots where we get some good thunderstorms where you could pick up a decent amount it's just going to be isolated we are now 7 days away from the Eclipse if you haven't heard yet uh we are getting so very close and we were hoping for a better forecas
t uh but the latest computer models that are coming in while it's still too early to talk specifics things can change hour by hour it is trending cloudier and perhaps a little bit rainy too we're not going to say that with uh you know 100% confidence right now but that's the way it is trending and we're going to keep you updated as we go now look you can still view the eclipse with clouds it will still get dark it just won't be as spectacular okay but uh we'll updates things can change uh as we
get a little bit closer certainly s days away is still still a long way away for the models to be perfect as we look at the forecast 88 degrees at 4:00 by the time we get into this evening we're going to add in a 40% chance of some thunderstorms uh 8 to Midnight's kind of the time frame I've been saying as far as severe weather goes uh it's not a huge chance but there is going to be a few spots that could perhaps see some of these stronger storms with the threat uh here around South Texas again
between 8 and and 12 a.m. right along that frontal boundary we're going to talk much more about what you can expect tomorrow behind this front and for the rest of the work week as well coming up in just a couple minutes thank you Justin three different leagues and three straight years yesterday kicking off the season for the brahmas and uh this is time they are now part of the UFL kickoff happening 11 o'clock yesterday morning in the alal doome S anono got on the board first Chase garbers bumps
it off to Anthony McFarland that's 20 yards for the touchdown go to the second quarters 149 bromas when it looks like they're kicking the field goal but it's a trick play punter Brad Wing fires to Center Alex mullette the big fella rumbling for the 40- yard touchdown 29 set of ton at the break we go to the fourth quarter biggest controvert DC cut the lead to two on the touchdown pass but head coach Wade Phillips threw a challenge flag for the Fall start on number 59 that's Jean delance that's th
e same guy who was just ejected from the game for spitting in the face of Brahma Delante Scott oh he's not happy Phillips won the challenge so DC's touchdown didn't count four plays later Darius Phillips reads it picks it and there he goes he gets all the way down inside the 10 yd line Brahma end up scoring another touchdown and they win it 27-2 our Nick mantis was the home at the home opener and he says the atmosphere was just electric what a fun and exciting home opener here at the Alamo Dome
guys as the San anonio bras get their first win of the season and part of the fun was that fake kick touchdown pass just before halftime so we had to ask the guys what went into that play it's meant to be a one route play and everyone else is a dummy route so I'm not even supposed to look at these guys but he was just wide open in the middle of the field and um it just worked I got some good blocks up front so um worked out once I got as I think a receiver would say to the top of my route um I u
h I noticed that nobody was guarding me so I kind of just settled down and I saw him look over at me and throw it and the only thought through my head is I really hope I don't drop this when I turned around and didn't see anybody immediately next to me I was like I got to score it's going to happen it's got to happen and as for the crowd here at the Alamo Dome there was a lot more people than originally expected to be here on an Easter Sunday the fans were awesome you know very loud especially w
hen they had the ball on offense um and I think you know overall you know if we keep winning and you know the fans will keep showing and it'll be great like anywhere I mean they they'll come if you win enough games you know so uh so but I thought we started on the right foot I think more people will want to come out and see it in person it's a great family atmosphere too I mean it's the tickets are not overpriced and you can bring the whole family out you can even even come out on the field afte
r the game you know see the players so it's a it's a great atmosphere so a solid start for the San Antonio bahas here in week one as they look to repeat that in week two when they go on the road next week at the El Dome Nick mantis Kat 12 Sports mention going on the road next week the brahmas are now one to0 and Saturday they're going to be in Memphis to take on the showboats that's another 11:00 a.m. kickoff you are going to notice a bigger emphasis on health around San Antonio this week that's
because it is National Public Health Week cities all across the country are talking about ways to help people get healthier in San Antonio leaders want to make sure that people have more access to fresh fruit and vegetables back in 2019 the city started the healthy corner stores program which brings fruit and vegetables at a cheaper price to smaller stores in areas that are considered food deserts we use um the USDA food insecure information to gauge um areas that are considered food and secure
throughout San Antonio we also um keep in mind that once we identify those locations that they're within um half a mile to a mile from an HB we currently carry mostly fruits because that's what sells the best but through this program we're able to expand and offer more options you just heard from Jessica Provo she owns Royal Blue grocery it's in downtown San Antonio that store among 45 stores in the elamo city that take part in the healthy corner stores program each one of them accepts SNAP ben
efits and we'll tell you how you can get cheaper produce on our website kat.com still coming up we are learning how scientists are able to figure out exactly when and where this eclipse is going to happen very [Music] interesting outside with live cam you know things look ripe for some really good rain at some point today look at that this looks like it ought to just be like bam here it is I like it when it rains during the week let's do that yeah not next Monday but not next Monday this Monday
this Monday uh yeah we have a lot of moisture in the atmosphere we just need something to sort of squeeze it out and uh get the rain down to the surface I think we have a chance of that this evening 75 so far today 69 is the low this morning so you can see how much moisture there was it really kept temperatures up records are 93 and 30 6 coming up we're going to time out these storms hour by hour for you and show you when and where they could affect the area coming up hard to believe but we're j
ust one week one week seven days from the total solar eclipse and if you haven't been able to tell a lot of excitement surrounding the event especially from the weather team they are pumped up yes it's true this is something we've been preparing for for for honestly years since 2017 we've been talking about it so how does scientists determine the eclipse path and when and where will it happen I've taken plenty of math classes in my day but when it comes to figuring out where and when a total sol
ar eclipse will occur that's next level math thankfully there are some really smart people here at UTSA including Dr Angela spec who heads up the department of physics and astronomy she's going to help us out let's go do some learning determining the path of an eclipse how difficult is that the silence says it all I mean Dr Speck is an astrophysicist but as she'll tell you there's a lot and I mean a lot to consider we can simplify the players the Sun the Moon and the Earth obviously but that's w
here the Simplicity ends the moon isn't always in between o and the Sun and so you get kind of a a weird a weird sort of mismatch of when they do intersect where where is it going to hit on the earth so is this geometry that we're dealing with this is all geometry okay so to figure out this problem you should probably know that the distance from the Earth to the Sun is one astronomical unit or Au or roughly 93 million miles this is about uh 1400th of an au and so you can then start to figure out
okay what is what is this and so you end up with um you know how big is this and where does it land on the earth get all that I think we're going to need a bigger calculator here's the good news so once you've worked out one you can start to predict when they will be in the future and when they will be in the past but this is also when it gets even more complicated keep in mind things are spinning wobbling and orbiting you're going to get all of the different cycles of the moon going around the
earth and the earth going around the Sun they all come together every 18 years 11 days and 8 hours that's very specific it's also got a name the seros cycle and as it turns out that extra 8 hours throws things off so we just had an eclipse uh an annual eclipse and if you've seen the path of that you've got an annual Eclipse you've got the total eclipse you've got this lovely cross there was a cross like that 18 years and 5 days uh 11 days ago but because of the 8 hours it's not over San Antonio
it's a third of the way around the planet cuz that's a third of a day and so it was in North Africa it was Libya in other words we're lucky for as complicated as the math seems to be the equations are working in favor of us earthlings we have a moon that is exactly the right size and distance from us so it looks the same size as the sun in the sky it's much closer so it's so it looks much bigger so the adage what a time to be alive has never been more true and in the future the moon will be too
far away and we'll only get annular eclipses so we're really lucky to be living in San Antonio right now I love I love that um kind of a nod to to the movie Jaws we're going to need a bigger boat yeah we're going to need a bigger calculator listen uh those are some really really smart people uh way above my intelligence level astrophysicists I like the way how she explained it like this and and sun and moon going around and around yeah and and then this happens and so I'm assuming she's a colle
ge professor yes uh Dr spec over at UTSA and they they have a lot of Brilliant Minds over there and you know one thing that's interesting about this is they can calculate this down to like street level okay so on one side of a street can be complete totality the other side may be 99.9 wow so that's how exact it is uh incredible science so if you're thinking we're kind of blowing this out of proportion we're not worldwide this is a big deal it is a big deal and there's a lot of scientists coming
here the only the only flying ointment will be the weather but as I said earlier we're still we're still hoping for the best yes yes and uh tomorrow morning on gmsa our Eclipse coverage continues we'll tell you about some local research opportunities that are taking place during the Eclipse which something to do with flamingos I guess yes and we and what did you say a flock of flamingos is a flamboyance flamboyant talked about that see what you learn on the news the more you know the more you kn
ow all right let's talk about April we're here uh 78 is the average high 55 is the average low as we start the month by the end of the month we're at 83 the average low is 62 it is the fourth wetest month on average in San Antonio so it's usually a pretty good month we start to see rain chances ramp up a little bit of course May and then as we get into fall is typically our wetest months uh but as we go outside for you looks like we're seeing a little bit of light trying to shine through there n
ot much still pretty cloudy uh still even a little bit of fog 75 at the airport 78 new bronal 80 in sigin 70 burning 72 cville we've got a good southernly wind that is ushering in a lot of moisture the satellite picture shows a lot of clouds over us we've got high clouds we got some low clouds too and these are going to scour out the Sun for a while probably keep temperatures down where these clouds are thickest now where we're seeing some of the sun that's where you'll see warmer weather and we
're starting to see probably the initial clouds here right in this area here they're going to start to develop and maybe start to develop some storms a little bit later the main action is going to be up here across Oklahoma City as this slow gets a little bit closer and this is a dynamic system that promises to bring a lot of severe weather to parts of Oklahoma and North Texas this dark orange color representing the highest risk today for severe weather and the Storm Prediction Center just broug
ht this up to a higher level meaning they're pretty confident there's going to be a significant severe weather outbreak in Oklahoma today now further down this line we lack some of the upper level energy but we still have enough energy here to get some storms going between 8:00 p.m. and midnight our risk is not as high as it is up there but we do need to mention it and these storms as they develop uh if they do flare up into severe weather uh could produce some hail so this is 5 o' today doesn't
show much we get some breaks finally in the clouds but there come these storms and this is 8:00 pm showing some of that activity here around the I35 Corridor May linger till about midnight and then this will start to push East around 2 a.m. and then get out of here by tomorrow morning we clear out and dry out du points will come way down tomorrow and tomorrow will be a pretty nice day the severe storm threat as I showed earlier we have a slight to moderate risk of hail that's going to be the bi
ggest issue with any storm that develops today but we could see some Gusty winds too I think flooding really is going to be a non-issue as our tornadoes but we can't rule anything out completely rain chances they Peak as I said between 8 and midnight we're talking 40% chance here so still not everyone is going to get rain and thunderstorms extended forecast 80 tomorrow a little bit windy in the afternoon 77 Wednesday 79 Thursday chilly Mornings in the 40s both days back up into the 80s Friday an
