I don't hear Dak saying, "Okay, here we go" anymore, but a win is a win. Heck yeah! And we're also going to win with our weather over the next week. Lots of rain is on the way, with a flooding potential to boot.
Good morning, my friends. Welcome to Tuesday. We tied a record high yesterday at 87 degrees. Go figure. And guess what, we're going to break a record today at 87 degrees. The record is 83 degrees.
We're waking up to morning clouds, but nothing is showing up on radar. The sun will break out by late morning, giving way to a partly cloudy and very warm day today. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 80s, shattering the old record high.
Lots of Gulf moisture continues to move into the area from the south. This will bring low clouds back into the area for tomorrow morning, as readings only dip into the mid to upper 60s.
Things start to change late Wednesday evening into Thursday morning as a ton of rain moves into the area, just in time for your morning commute. A few strong storms are possible. Most areas will see an inch or two of rain, as temperatures hold in the mid-70s all day. We'll get a break in the rain by late morning into the afternoon, but another large area of rain with thunder will move into the area by late Thursday afternoon and evening. A few storms may become severe, depending on how fast the atmosphere can rebound from the morning convection. An additional one to two inches of rain are possible.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Flood Watches issued tomorrow for late Wednesday through early Friday morning. Stay tuned.
Skies will clear from west to east Friday morning, giving way to a beautiful day, as cooler, drier air moves in from the northwest. Afternoon highs will top out in the mid 70s.
Looking at the current extended data, most of the weekend looks okay, with cooler temperatures. Highs will reach the upper 60s on Saturday, mid-60s on Sunday, as clouds rapidly increase during the day. Scattered showers and storms will move in from the west before the day is done and continue off and on through Monday as well. Temperatures will hold in the upper 60s to low 70s on Monday.
The second system that moves into the area late this weekend and early next week will need to be monitored for speed, track, and strength, fluctuations, and rainfall totals and timing of the rain are expected as we get closer to that event.
Peeking at some of the model trends, another system may impact our weather on the biggest travel day of the year, next Wednesday, along with much cooler weather for Thanksgiving weekend. Stay tuned on that forecast. Have a great day today and please enjoy the weather when you can; it's the only weather you've got!
