Rain Chances The Next Few Days

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* An area of high pressure sits to our east across the Deep South and with this feature to our east, this puts us in southeasterly flow bringing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico across the Lone Star State. With daytime heating, a few thunderstorms will be possible today across the area.

* Models suggest a disturbance will rotate around the high and move into south Texas and work it's way north tomorrow helping increase rain chances. A cold front to the north is trying it's best to work southward at the same time. Showers and thunderstorms that develop on this front will work into the northern Big Country tomorrow afternoon and evening. For now, it looks like the best chance of rain is for Tuesday afternoon and evening.

* The high will shift some westward toward mid-week shutting the Gulf of Mexico moisture off from Texas so we'll return to a dry pattern by the end of the week.

* Temperatures will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s the next few days thanks to rain and cloud cover. Highs will climb back into the middle 90s come the end of the week.
