High pressure will be the main weather feature over the deep south throughout the weekend. As a result, we expect lots of sunshine along with mild morning temps and warm afternoon highs. Mornings start out in the lower to mid 60s while afternoons top out in the mid to upper 80s. This will be a great weekend for any of…

A Hint Of Fall In The Air

The cold front continues to move southward through the area. High pressure will build in behind the frontal system. Northerly winds usher in dry and milder air to the region overnight. A clear sky and light winds will allow for temps to fall into the upper 50s to lower 60s. This should put just a hint of fall in the…

Ida Impacts Monday Through Tuesday

The center of Ida will be moving west and north of us but close enough to deliver several impacts to our area Monday through Tuesday afternoon. We expect a tornado threat areawide. These would be quick spin ups embedded in tropical rain bands passing over us. Rainfall potential will range between 2 to 5 inches. The heaviest totals will occur…

Tropical Threat Heading Towards The Gulf

An east to west flow continues to be entrenched over the area. Waves embedded in this flow will lead to periods of showers and storms. We see this being the case Friday through the weekend. Any storms that do move through here will be capable of heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning strikes. In between the storms, we still…
