Forecast Discussion
High pressure will remain in control of our weather for two more days--lots of sun with somewhat warmer temperatures. Wednesday a weak front will move through with the slightest chance of a late afternoon or early evening shower or t-shower. Behind this front Thursday, expect another dry/pleasant day.
As we move toward the weekend, things get a little more dicey. The front that will have moves through Wednesday will return as a warm front Saturday carrying moisture from the tropical system currently in the Bay of Campeche. Then Saturday night a front from the NW is expected to move through. The result will be a gradual increase in shower/thundershower chances late Friday and Friday night (still only isolated coverage), then scattered shower/thundershower coverage Saturday. We have to leave at least a slight chance of a shower into Sunday with the front close.
The Atlantic Basin remains "tropically active"...
1. A tropical depression formed in the Bay of Campeche late yesterday and is expected to become Tropical Storm Hermine today, headed toward the northern Mexico coast tonight.
2. The remnants of Tropical Storm Gaston are still active in the Atlantic headed toward the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean--this could strengthen back into a tropical storm during the next couple days.
3. Low pressure is moving off the African Coast today, a possible tropical system in the making over the next several days.
