Sct. Showers/Storms Over The Weekend

A moisture rich tropical air mass has taken up residence and we expect it will remain in place through the weekend into early next week. Periods of showers and storms will work through the area each day. Some of the storms will be capable of gusty winds, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning strikes. When storms aren’t occurring, skies will be…

Tropical-Like Showers & Storms

Abundant tropical moisture is in place and more will be drawn into the area over the next several days. Daily rounds of showers and storms will cover the landscape. These will be tropical-like storms capable of heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning strikes. There’s a threat some storms could go severe over our north and western most counties Friday…

Hot & Humid With Sct. Storms

A rather hot and humid air mass has a grip on our weather pattern through at least Thursday. Temps will continue to manage lower to mid 90s for highs during this same time period. Showers and storms will be around but we’re thinking our rain chances will pick up Friday and there’s a good chance we see showers and storms…

Mainly Rainfree Wednesday

There’s still plenty of tropical moisture over our area tonight. This will keep us under a mostly cloudy sky with occasional showers passing through here. Temps will slowly drop into the mid 70s overnight. Wednesday is looking a lot brighter with sunshine returning area wide. Temps will respond with highs back into the lower to mid 90s. The old dreaded…

The circulation around T.S. Marco is sending gulf moisture into the state tonight. As a result, we expect periods of rain and storms. A few stronger to possibly severe storms are more likely across our southern most counties. This same area will receive periods steady rain and rainfall potential of 1 to 2 inches is possible. Most all other locations…

During the weekend, we expect an upper level feature to continue hovering over the region. This system will help keep a decent chance for showers and storms in the picture throughout Saturday and Sunday. Mornings will start out uneventful but once we get into the afternoon heating hours, showers and storms will develop. Any storm development will lead to heavy…

More Rain/Storms Ahead

The fetch of gulf moisture seems almost endless across our area. This will continue to fuel rain and storms throughout the state. Some storms may strong and even severe. We’re under a marginal risk (1 out of 5) for severe storms again Friday. Any storms that do develop will be capable of very heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning. A…

Severe Storms Possible Thursday

We’re going to finish out the work week with an active weather pattern. A stationary boundary will sit over the area and a significant surge of gulf moisture flows into region. Numerous showers and storms will work across the area and some storms could reach severe levels Thursday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has our entire area under a marginal…

Showers/Storms Late Week

A frontal boundary sits across our southern most counties this evening. A refreshing surge of drier air has moved into behind the boundary. Dewpoints have dropped off and it doesn’t feel quite as humid. It’s August and you know this dry spell won’t last long. As matter of fact, moisture is returning and our rain chances are increasing Wednesday. We’ll…

Frontal Passage Ahead

A frontal boundary is making southward push through the state and will be mainly south of our area Tuesday. This will briefly put most of the area in a slightly drier air mass. The better chance for any rain/storms would shift to our southern most counties. Temps remain rather hot with highs easily in the lower to mid 90s. By…
