Similar to yesterday, wind gusts of 20-30mph from the S have been common today but will relax after sunset. Scattered clouds have managed to keep our temperatures down today, and have only reached the mid 70s, short of our forecasted high of 80°.
A few folks have seen some drizzle or a quick shower so far today, but majority of the rain is along a cold front currently stretched along the Mississippi River.
The latest HRRR model thinks this front puts on the brakes just to our west, keeping a majority of the rain away from us.
Although a few showers (and maybe a non-severe thunderstorm, especially Wed. afternoon) will be possible tonight and tomorrow, rainfall totals will likely be fairly light – between 0.25 – 0.5″.
Some lingering moisture could result in some scattered showers Thursday morning thru the afternoon.
Compared to yesterday, there is a bit more agreement between the GFS and Euro in regard to rain chances this weekend.
Unlike yesterday, the GFS now thinks that the rain will hold off until Saturday morning, with on/off chances continuing thru Sunday.
The Euro has pretty much stayed solid with its’ thinking – rain chances arriving Saturday afternoon, a mostly dry Sunday, with some more chances on Monday.
Although this is good news for outdoor plans on Friday, it is only Tuesday – and it’s just one run of one model. Don’t put too much stock into it. Things could change!
Our weather for early next week will depend a good deal on where now Tropical Storm Rafael goes.
Currently S of Cuba, Rafael is expected to make landfall sometime Sunday as a Tropical Storm. Could potentially bring in some rain for us sometime next week, but wayyyyy too soon to know fo sho.
Temps will continue to be mild, that’s fo sho.
