Saturday Storms Loom Before Easter Cooldown
Thursday delivered the first round of rain across Bryan and the wider Brazos Valley. Forecasters now expect a second system to arrive on Saturday. Saturday storms could bring stronger weather as a cold front moves through.
Saturday setup and risks
A cold front will sweep across the Brazos Valley Saturday afternoon and into the evening. A line of showers and thunderstorms is likely to develop along and ahead of that boundary. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire Brazos Valley in a Marginal, 1-out-of-5, risk for severe weather.
Forecasters say a few storms could become strong to severe. Wind and hail are the primary concerns. A brief, weak spin-up tornado cannot be completely ruled out.
Rain intensity and flooding concerns
Rainfall totals are projected generally between 0.25 and 0.75 inches. Isolated locations could receive 1.5 inches or more. With Thursday’s rain having already saturated soils, localized flooding is possible in low-lying and urban areas, and on roadways.
| Area | Expected Rainfall |
|---|---|
| Most locations | 0.25″–0.75″ |
| Isolated spots | Up to 1.5″+ |
Timing and Easter outlook
Confidence is growing for clearing by mid-morning on Easter Sunday. Expect a cool, clear afternoon with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. The setup suggests an Easter cooldown following the wet period.
