Pleasant Friday

Today will be a very nice day with near average temperatures and lots of sunshine. Temperatures warm Saturday and there could be a few showers and thundershowers in the late afternoon and early evening. Sunday brings more clouds, cooler temperatures, and a better chance of afternoon rain and thunder. Overall, Sunday should be a nice day. We get lots of sunshine next week with small chances of afternoon showers or thundershowers Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures cool Wednesday and Thursday.

Forecast Discussion

High pressure gives us a warm and dry day today. A cold front moving in from the northeast late Saturday afternoon could help spark a few showers and thundershowers late Saturday afternoon and into the early evening. Temperatures are warmer Saturday.

The cold front stalls just to the south and washes out but it will generate more clouds Sunday and the afternoon shower and thundershower coverage will be a little greater than Saturday but overall, not that much rain is expected. Temperatures are cooler Sunday.

High pressure builds in for Monday with warmer temperatures and very small chances of afternoon rain and thunder. A cold front will move in from the north Tuesday and that will increase the chances for afternoon rain and thunder. The front moves though Tuesday night and temperatures cool for Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday look to be fantastic days.

Tropical Depression Two has formed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It is expected to move south toward Cuba however and should not have any effect on our weather.
