Good afternoon, y’all and happy Wednesday! Kendall and Emily are handling the first half of your week and I’m here to tell you what’s going on about the beginning of next week!

What we’re seeing at the beginning of the week is a trough that’s diving straight from a massive ridge in the southwest United States that’s bringing slightly cooler air, however that cooler air mixing with the Gulf moisture always brings in a higher chance of rain and thunderstorms. Well, that seems to be ringing true again as remnants of a low pressure system and a massive ridge bring in a large wave that will last long enough to affect the beginning of the week.

Monday will be warm after a hot weekend and we can see the chance of the rain to come in the late afternoon to evening to cool things off. This is the premonition for the next couple of days. High of 92 and a low of 75.

Tuesday has a 50% chance of rain as the trough moves its way out, however we’ll still stay warm throughout the day. High of 91 and a low of 74.

Wednesday has a good chance for rain throughout the later portion of the day leftover from the rest of the front with a high of 92 and a low of 74.

Y’all have a good week and stay safe!
