A Beautiful Beginning to the Weekend, Rain to Possibly Hit at the Tail End

Well, we’re starting off with great weather for the weekend!

Looking at the bigger picture, the low pressure system that brought us the rain yesterday has slowed down over the Great Lakes, but thankfully has already passed us to bring us a surface high so that the rain stays away for a day or so.

What’s brewing going into Sunday is coming in from the Southwest. Two shortwaves will meet up around Texas and split ways. One, which is the one we’ll be looking at is heading across eastern Texas into the Mississippi Delta on Sunday afternoon into the evening. The shortwave itself is fairly weak with the development on the surface, however the driving force in the mid-levels provide the moisture. The rain will most likely hit the central Pinebelt and may dip into the southern Pinebelt if there is enough moisture closer to the surface.

A shortwave in north Texas, a high pressure shortwave squeezing moisture for rain chances, and a low developing off the Texas coast moving to the Gulf, oh my!

So far, the storms will arrive around the late evening around 5 pm into the overnight hours. Areas in the west to central Pinebelt will see the rain come in a little earlier as it moves east into our neck of the woods.
