00:00Most of the rainfall on Saturday

00:01will stay across East Texas,

00:03but as we had throughout the day on Sunday,

00:05it's going to expand here

00:07across the Mississippi River.

00:08There will be a few thunderstorms

00:09mixed in with this as well.

00:11Satellite radar here over the past three hours.

00:13You can see some isolated showers here

00:15already developing across central Texas,

00:16and there's also a lot of cloud

00:18coverage down here as well.

00:20Some heavy rainfall now developing

00:21across far southern parts of Texas.

00:23Lows here as we head into tonight.

00:25It'll be pretty cold for Arkansas and Oklahoma.

00:27Overnight lows hovering right around

00:29freezing. However, the cloud coverage

00:31here for tonight across Texas will

00:33keep temperatures above freezing

00:34into the 40s here for tonight.

00:36So we'll be raining here pretty much

00:38all evening, all night,

00:39and throughout the day on Saturday.

00:41Here's the overall setup

00:42for the forecast on Saturday.

00:44Most of the rainfall will stay across

00:45central and eastern parts of Texas.

00:47It does look like most of the rainfall

00:49will stay to the south of the Red River,

00:51so most of the organized

00:52and most of the accumulating rainfall

00:54will stay to the south of the Red River.

00:56But then after that,

00:58the rainfall is definitely going to expand

00:59here as we have throughout the day on Sunday.

01:01Here's future track radar

01:02as we head into this evening.

01:0310 o'clock tonight on your Friday.

01:05We will see some heavy rainfall

01:06to the south and to the southeast

01:08of Dallas, pushing into East Texas.

01:10That rainfall will lift its way

01:11into northern parts of Louisiana

01:13during the overnight hours,

01:14and I'm stopping the clock at midday Saturday.

01:17This is tomorrow afternoon,

01:18midday local time.

01:19You can see heavy rainfall

01:20ongoing here across East Texas,

01:23but I also want to point out

01:24that there will be some pretty good

01:25showers and storms here

01:26across the Dallas metroplex

01:28in northern parts of Texas

01:29there right along the Red River.

01:31So Dallas will see the heaviest

01:32rainfall and storm chances

01:34right around midday on Saturday.

01:36And then after that,

01:37that first big wave of rain

01:38will start to work its way

01:39off to the east here

01:40as we head throughout Saturday

01:41afternoon into Saturday evening.

01:43But late Saturday, early Sunday,

01:44we will see another redevelopment

01:46of showers and storms

01:47there across West Texas,

01:48and that is going to bring more rainfall

01:50as we head throughout the day on Sunday.

01:53But then after that here,

01:54highs for your Saturday,

01:54we'll see some rain cooled

01:5540s and 50s here

01:57across the Lone Star State.

01:59So definitely not as mild

02:00as what we have been seeing

02:01because of that rainfall

02:03and heading into Saturday night.

02:04Temperatures will be very mild

02:05for this time of year.

02:06It'll be a little bit

02:07cooler on the backside

02:08where it starts to clear out

02:09for Lubbock and Odessa Midland as well.

02:11And also El Paso only getting up

02:13to 39 degrees there

02:14on Saturday night, Sunday morning.
