On Texas Rangers Opening Day, North Texas woke up to mostly cloudy skies. The roof at Globe Life Field is now closed. At first pitch at 3:05 p.m., the temperature is in the low to mid-70s. There is a 20-40% chance of isolated rain and storms during the afternoon.

The Pacific Northwest is staring down a rare spring severe thunderstorm threat and Texas is preparing to see up to half a year’s worth of rain by the weekend as March continues its streak of unusually disruptive weather.

A developing storm over north-central Mexico will slowly swing across parts of the south-central United States later this week with drought-quenching rain and the risk of flash flooding, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
