Scattered Storms, Continued Warm

It seems like our weather pattern the last couple of days has been the same song and dance with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the low to mid 60s. Cloud cover again kept temperatures rather muggy overnight at 64 degrees. Infrared satellite shows these clouds are moving east, but a large cloud shield associated with overnight convection in Texas is approaching the Mississippi River. All of the cloud cover and precipitation is associated with an upper air disturbance that will be moving our way this afternoon. The strongest energy associated with the disturbance will pass to our north, but I am buying into the fact that more cloud cover will be around today than the last couple of days. It appears as though that skies will be partly cloudy for much of the morning with increasing clouds by noon, but I still think we should be able to hit 81 this afternoon. With the strong upper air disturbance passing by, I feel that there will likely be greater coverage of showers and thunderstorms today. That's not to say everyone will get wet, but there should be a higher potential to get wet today than any day so far this week. Clouds should stick around tonight and there will be a lingering small chance of a shower or thunderstorm overnight. It will be muggy again in the morning with a low of 63.
