00:00Well, really, when we talk about the forecast this week, a lot of it's all about Halloween, because especially right
00:06now, I mean, there's weather to talk about, don't get me wrong, but higher impact weather really holds off until,
00:11unfortunately, the holiday weekend. So let's dive into it. I know trick or treat, some people are doing it Thursday,
00:18some Friday, some Saturday, so we'll hit all the days. The big problem spot that we're watching is the southern
00:24plains. That's where the most high impact weather is going to be the next couple of days.
00:30As we look towards the end of the week, and it's all because of this tropical moisture coming from Vance
00:35in the Pacific, plus just that moisture from the Gulf joining together to lead to heavy rainfall and a flash
00:41flood concern. Let's take a look at future radar. We're going to skip ahead to Thursday because, I mean, like
00:46I said, it's not like we stay completely dry. There's a little bit of green on the screen, but it's
00:50not really much worth talking about as far as high impact weather, which, you know, we try to focus on.
00:56You can use your AccuWeather app to get the in-between details for your
00:59exact location as we go through the next couple of days, but here's that rainfall starting to move in. Now
01:05it's West Texas and New Mexico really are the focus here. So Thursday, 7 PM, it's a messy time for
01:11trick-or-treaters in places like El Paso, even Albuquerque. Keep an eye on things. Lightning, certainly a concern, and
01:17just drenching downpours. If you can change the Halloween costume to something that involves an umbrella, it's not a bad
01:23idea. That's for sure. As we head into Friday, we start to see this system move on.
01:27It's relatively fast-moving, but there's just so much moisture that it's going to dump for Abilene, Lubbock, down through
01:33Del Rio, anywhere from two to four to up to a foot of rain in just a matter of 24
01:41-ish hours. Thursday through Friday night is the time frame that we're looking at here. So when we look at
01:46Friday as a whole, and I skipped past it by accident, so we'll talk Saturday, then we'll go back to
01:50Friday. So Saturday, because it's a quick-moving system,
01:53the threat shifts. So our thunderstorm risk, and not necessarily a big flash flood threat, but just thunderstorms, that's more
02:00South Texas all the way through Austin, up to Dallas, over all the way to Mississippi. If we go back
02:05just a little bit to Friday, still the main concerns West Texas into New Mexico, and even stretching up now
02:12into places like Oklahoma, into Kansas, and even into a little bit of Nebraska at that point.
