A dryline moves in from the west. Gulf moisture tries to surge in ahead of it, but will likely be limited.

As the dryline moves in from the west, southwest winds take hold and the humidity will drop. This will lead to extreme fire danger.

Winds will ramp up on Saturday as our next storm approaches.

Along and east of the dryline, severe storms will try to develop.

The gulf moisture will be lacking, and this will limit the instability.

The severe risks are mainly wind and hail. Very low tornado risk.

Cloud cover and rain are showing in current data for viewing of the solar eclipse. Amazingly enough, if the skies turn out to be clear, two comets will be visible to the left of totality near the planet Jupiter!
