Wet This Morning, Scattered Showers This Afternoon

Very heavy rainfall fell overnight with many areas picking up between 1 and 2 inches. Unfortunately, it looks like we're going to be wet again today. The ongoing rain is being caused by isentropic ascent associated with the cold front that moved to our south over the weekend. This front is currently located along the Gulf coast, but it will lift northward to near I-20 by this afternoon. Meanwhile, weak upper level disturbances will help enhance the lift, and this will lead to additional rounds of rain, especially this morning. As the warm front lifts northward, it should shift the heaviest precipitation northward, which means that it likely won't rain all day, but there will continue to be a chance of scattered showers this afternoon. Skies will be cloudy today, and temperatures won't crack 70 degrees. Instead, highs should only top out near 68 this afternoon. Skies will remain cloudy overnight, and there is a small chance for a few showers. A low temperature of 64 will likely occur near midnight, but the temperature will rise slightly afterward with temperatures tomorrow morning near 66. There is good model agreement that we'll turn drier and colder this weekend as a trough digs into the Eastern U.S. We could see highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s!
