More Rain Possible By Tonight

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Fog is the main story this morning, especially along and south of I-20 where a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect. Visibilities of less than a quarter of a mile are being reported in some of these locations, so be very careful if you are going to be on the roadways during the morning hours. By this afternoon, the skies should clear and we'll have mostly sunny skies. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s are expected.

The chance for rain returns tonight with the arrival of another upper level disturbance. There is a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms with lows in the upper 50s. The rain should hold off until the overnight hours, but you might want to take the umbrella with you if you are going to be out and about late tonight. You'll want to keep that umbrella close by tomorrow since there is a 40% chance of more showers and thunderstorms. It should be a little cooler tomorrow with highs in the mid 70s and mostly cloudy skies. It could be even cooler depending on how widespread the rain and cloud cover is during the day.

As Craig stated in the previous discussion, there are a few questions with this next upper level system. Some of the models are still indicating that it may linger a little longer than originally expected in the form of a cut-off low. So, for now, I am going to bring in a 20% chance of rain Thursday night and into the day on Friday. We should clear things out by Friday night for football, but that could change so stay tuned. The weekend looks good with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low 80s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
