Wednesday Morning Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly...

We had plenty of cloud cover yesterday although a few breaks in the clouds helped the temperatures to rise into the upper 70's. Our eastern counties were able to see a bit of rainfall earlier in the morning. Today we will again start off with temperatures in the 60's with plenty of humidity. This could allow for some patchy fog and drizzle throughout the morning. By this afternoon we could see isolated showers and thunderstorms with the possibility of a strong to severe storm off towards our northwestern counties. The best chance of activity will be along the dryline that is currently over the Big Bend region. The rain chances will continue to be on the rise with 20 percent today and 30 percent overnight. Temperatures will get into the 70's today with lows in the 60's.

With the cut off low inches its way towards our area we will be seeing better rain chances tomorrow. This will be because of the abundant moisture getting pushed in from the pacific in the mid and upper levels along with low level gulf moisture from our southerly winds. As the system approaches disturbances will be thrown our way adding for the increasing chance of thunderstorms. We could see the possibility again of a sever storm and also flooding.

Rain chances are at 50 percent for Thursday through Saturday with temperatures in the lower 70's and lows in the upper 50's.

Have a great day!
