Clouds will be on the increase today with mild temps. Highs will be in the mid 60s. We will have a slight chance of showers tonight. The better chance for rain will come Thursday ahead of a cold front moving east. Heavy rain associated with the system will bring the potential for minor to moderate flooding in some spots.  1 to 2 inches of rain is possible, maybe up to 3 inches in some spots.

There is also the possibility for strong to serve thunderstorms. The timing right looks to be late evening Thursday. With flooding, we could see strong winds, frequent lightning, and isolated tornadoes

Long Term

The cold front is forecast to clear the area Friday. We will have a chance of showers during the morning, then skies will gradually clear. Temps will also cool down behind the front. Highs on Friday will be near 60. Remains dry through the weekend.

Dense fog around this morning thanks to low level moisture in the area. Drier air will continue to work in behind a cold front that is just to our south. The dry air will bring the sunshine for this afternoon. Temperatures will stay mild (in the mid 60s).

Short Term
Don’t get too use to the sunny, mild weather. An area of low pressure is forming in southern Texas that will move toward us and will bring an increase in clouds over night.

Our chances for rain will increase Wednesday with the best chance on Thursday night. A cold front will approach bringing a good chance for heavy showers and thunderstorms. Temps will remain mild (in the 60s) for the rest of the week. Cooler air will arrive just in time for the weekend.
