First Alert: Late day thunderstorms on Saturday will give way to a cool and dry Easter Sunday. #etxwx

The good news is that we get another round of rain and thunderstorms to get us off to a good start in the rainfall department for April. It is still shaping up to be cooler and mainly dry for Easter Sunday. #etxwx

First Alert: Heavy thunderstorms will be making their approach into the Piney Woods on Saturday afternoon, likely disrupting many outdoor events from 3-6 p.m. Heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds will accompany the stronger cells. #etxwx

Thinking of his family, friends, and @SpectrumNews1TX colleagues this morning. Dan was very encouraging to me when I first arrived at KTRE and we were just talking about him at a KTRE alumni reunion in February.

REMEMBERING DAN: Very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Dan Robertson, a Texas TV icon and the fmr. Chief Meteorologist at @KTREnews from 1989-1995. tinyurl.com/45azptr2.

Weather watcher rainfall updated totals from today. This includes Crockett who has now had 2.60" in the last two days. If you reside in Crockett, you are living right. #etxwx

Many of our weather watchers received some notable rainfall totals from today. The rainfall amounts do vary quite a bit, depending on your location. The highest rainfall amounts were confined to residents in Cherokee, Houston, and Rusk counties. #etxwx

First Alert: Our Thursday rain chances will be highest and favor areas west of Highway 59 where residents in these locales will have a 60% chance of getting wet. Residents further east in the Sabine National Forest will only have a 30% chance of rain. #etxwx

Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch. Wow.

Matthew Landon ‘08 is also part of the Artemis II launch countdown coordination team and shared this photo with us. 🚀 #AxeEm

We have some heavy downpours lining up along the Highway 19 corridor, stretching from Trinity to Lovelady, extending up to Crockett. I have a feeling may residents in Houston and Trinity counties are smiling right now. #etxwx

I spy some good, heavy downpours lifting north through the Highway 96 corridor from Jasper to Broaddus, extending north through Bronson, Pineland, and San Augustine. This activity will lift north this afternoon. #etxwx

We are running a near 6" deficit through the first quarter of 2026. Thankfully, we do have increasing rain and storm chances as we flip the calendar to April in the days ahead. #etxwx

We end March with another rainfall deficit in the books. This makes the 9th straight month of below average rainfall at LFK dating back to last July. Some weather watchers had near normal rainfall this month. #etxwx

First Alert: Our rain and storm chances ramp up later this week and will continue into the Easter weekend. It appears it will be a fairly wet start to the month of April. More to come as we progress through the week. #etxwx

This will make the ninth consecutive month with the Angelina County Airport receiving below normal rainfall dating back to last July. As we turn the calendar to April this week, we will enter into a more favorable weather pattern to see rain going into Easter weekend. #etxwx

It has been over two week since we received our last measurable rainfall and nearly three weeks since we had a good soaking. With no rainfall likely today or tomorrow, we will end March with a rainfall deficit of near two inches. #etxwx

Tonight's cold front will bring cooler vibes to east Texas for your Saturday. This cool down will be short-lived as the quick return to southerly winds will lead to a fast warm-up by Sunday afternoon. #etxwx ktre.com/weather

Enhanced Wildfire Risk on Saturday! 🔥 Gusty, northeasterly winds, dry fuels, and low humidity will lead to another enhanced wildfire risk day across east Texas on Saturday. Please refrain from doing any outdoor burning, even if your county is not under a burn ban. #etxwx

Drought Update: Most of deep east Texas remains in a moderate-to-severe drought. We have seen worsening drought conditions for areas from Livingston to Woodville where an extreme drought has now developed in the southern parts of our viewing area. #etxwx #drought
