The first severe weather chance of 2020 is expected Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
NWS Austin/San Antonio Meteorologist Bob Fogarty said a cold front will arrive Friday afternoon with storms lining up in front of the system.
“There’s a cold front which is moving toward the area (Friday, Friday night,),” Fogarty said. “Ahead of the cold front, we’re in this southerly, southeasterly flow, so we have a lot of warm moist air that’s moving in from the Gulf right now and that’s going to be in place before the front comes through. When the front comes through, we think it’ll generate thunderstorms and because of all the warm, moist air and the colder air aloft that’s coming in with the front, it’s a situation where some of those storms could get to be strong to severe.”
