On this episode of First Alert Weather Extra, meteorologist Andrew Tate previews the next round of unsettled weather across East Texas, including a low storm chance tonight, a First Alert Weather Day on Wednesday, and another possible round of rain on Mother’s Day Sunday.

Andrew explains where storms could develop along the I-30 corridor, why Wednesday afternoon and evening carry the better chance for stronger thunderstorms, and what the main threats look like right now, including damaging winds, large hail, and a low tornado risk. He also walks through the latest seven-day forecast, expected rainfall totals, and what to expect from Thursday into the weekend as rain chances gradually decrease before rising again on Sunday.

The episode also takes a broader look at the weather pattern driving East Texas conditions, including northwest flow, Pacific moisture, a cold front, and how these features may keep rain in the forecast into next week before drier weather potentially returns. In addition, Andrew shares a weather history segment on the May 5–6, 1930 tornado outbreak, highlights a fascinating space-weather-adjacent science story about a distant icy world beyond Pluto, and features two satellite images of the day showing a major North American storm system and a dust storm over Illinois.

Listeners also get an important programming note: because Wednesday is expected to be an active weather day, there will be no new episode on Wednesday, with First Alert Weather Extra returning on Thursday.

If you want a clear, local forecast covering East Texas storm timing, Wednesday severe weather risk, Mother’s Day rain chances, and the extended outlook, this episode has you covered.
