Decent Daily Rain Chances This Week, Especially Tuesday and Wednesday

by Ben Lang

TONIGHT:

Not many showers or storms formed this afternoon. There’s still a chance for an isolated shower or storm through this evening, but rain tapers off after sunset with dry weather overnight. Lows range between the low and mid 70s, with a mostly cloudy sky overhead.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY:

Showers and storms appear numerous to widespread in coverage over the next couple of days. The higher chance for rain coupled with more cloud-cover results in a little less heat. Expect high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s Tuesday. Most of the rain winds down Tuesday night, but an isolated shower or storm can’t be ruled out. Showers and storms become numerous to widespread again on Wednesday afternoon, with high temperatures in the upper 80s.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY:

Afternoon shower and storm coverage becomes scattered Thursday, and possibly isolated Friday. High temperatures climb as a result. Expect highs in the low to mid 90s Thursday, and mid 90s Friday. Outside of the chance for rain, expect a partly cloudy sky each day.

TROPICS:

Hanna dissipated in central Mexico Monday. It made landfall at approximately 5PM Saturday afternoon on Padre Island, Texas as a Category 1 hurricane with max sustained winds near 90 mph.

A tropical wave located in the central Atlantic has an 80% formation chance within five days as it continues west towards the lesser Antilles. Isaias is the next name on the 2020 Atlantic tropical cyclone list if it becomes a tropical storm.
