A Good Soaking Expected

The radar is quiet this morning except for a few light showers that will move through the county by 8:30 a.m. Responsible for this wet pattern is an almost stationary upper level low in conjunction with a slowing moving surface low over southeast Texas. The surface low will move into western Louisiana throughout the day, and these two features will generate enough lift for another wet day. I expect a good coverage of showers and thunderstorms to develop after 2 p.m. Given the very soupy air mass in place, some of these showers and storms will likely produce heavy rainfall. With mostly cloudy skies and rain developing this afternoon, I expect temperatures to be held below average again today around 81. Rain chances will continue to be high this evening and overnight with lows tomorrow morning near 71. We've got some cooler weather to look forward to by the middle to end of next week as an actual trough looks to dig into the eastern third of the country.
