A Rainy Weather Pattern Ahead

High pressure maintains a strong hold on our weather for now. This is keeping a frontal boundary held up to our west. The rain and storm threat will stay closer to the front and just outside of our area. This should allow us one more day of fairly quiet weather conditions Thursday. The ridge of high pressure will begin to…

The Heat Cranks Up For A Few Days!

A warm front is draped across our part of the state this evening. South and west of the boundary will be the area for additional showers and storms. Some storms will be capable of damaging winds and hail. The tornado threat is rather low but not zero. We expect the rain activity to depart late evening and the rest of…

We have a couple of chilly nights ahead. Temps drop into the lower to mid 40s tonight and Wednesday night. Daytime highs will top out in the upper 60s to…

Rain & Storm Threat Late Week

High pressure is setup to our east and that’s giving us a southerly wind flow across the area. As a result, temps are warming nicely with 80s likely over the next several days. The southerly wind flow will also transport in gulf moisture and that will lead to available moisture for rain and eventually storms. The rain activity will develop…
