Weather Underground
...Increasing Rain Chances Over The Next Few Days...

Today: Variable cloudiness. A chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning .then showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 90s. East winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60 %.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy with a 30 % chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening then partly cloudy after midnight. Lows in the lower 70s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening across
the area. gusty winds and lightning will be the primary threats.Locally heavy rainfall amounts of over
2 inches are possible due to the slow storm motion.

Today's Pollen Level: 1.8 Low( out of 12): Predominate Pollen, grass.
Area forecast details: deep south to southwest flow over the Gulf of Mexico on the east side of 
Alex continues to pump
moisture into the Gulf Coast states. 
TUTT low evident on water vapor
 imagery just northeast of the Bahamas with swath
 of dry air on the 
 west periphery. Surface front 
extends from the Ohio Valley to Arkansas. Scattered to broken middle
 and high cloudiness blankets 
 much of the area this morning. 

Temperatures are generally in the middle 70s with light winds. 
The slowly approaching cold front 
 from the north, increasing
deep layer moisture across the area 
and instability will increase 
 probability of precipitation over the next several days. 

Probability of precipitation will still be mostly diurnal in nature although activity will probably start 
earlier and end later each
 day. Will need to keep watching the dry and subsident area around 
TUTT low as it creeps toward our east zones on
Thursday but models seem to suggest it should 
 remain offshore. Locally heavy rainfall is possible during this period as 
models forecast precipitable 
water to increase to nearly 2.5 inches by Wednesday  night and Thursday.   

Temperatures will be on 
 the decline over the next several days due to slowly lowering thicknesses 
as well as thick cloud
cover and precipitation. Highs in the lower 90s today and Wednesday will be 
highly dependent on 
breaks in cloud cover.
