Extended Period of Wet Weather Likely Sunday-Wednesday...


We are monitoring a developing weather situation for the period Sunday through Wednesday of this weekend/next week.

An area of disturbed weather is currently located over the western Caribbean Sea and will move into the western Gulf of Mexico this weekend. This system may or may not develop into an organized tropical weather system late this weekend or early next week - but regardless of the formal extent of development - it will likely bring increasing moisture to the local region during the period Sunday through Wednesday.

With the above in mind, present indications suggest that shower and scattered thunderstorm activity will likely increase in coverage and frequency across much of the region starting during the day on Sunday and may continue at times through Wednesday. Based on present indications, the "peak" of potential rainfall activity would likely be on Monday and Tuesday of next week - but that could change if the track and/or speed of the system deviates from what is currently expected.

Depending upon exactly how the situation unfolds (which is not entirely clear at this time) locally heavy rainfall will be possible at least at times during the period in at least parts of the local area, and especially on Monday and Tuesday as noted above. As the eventual track of the weather system becomes more clear, we'll be able to be more specific on the potential for heavy rainfall and any associated hazards in future updates.


This is a developing weather situation with much uncertainty still involved. We will continue to monitor the latest trends and issue updates as conditions warrant.
