Friday, October 4th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

Today we will have variably cloudy skies with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, and the same tomorrow although tomorrow will likely be a little nicer day.  Sunday should be quite a bit nicer although there will still be a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm but the high will reach the low to mid 80’s.  Currently Tropical Storm Karen is in the Gulf of Mexico and she will head north making landfall somewhere between the Louisiana Coast and the Florida Panhandle this weekend.  She will then head north, combining forces with an approaching cold front to bring us showers and thunderstorms on Monday which could be heavy at times on Monday night.  Last night it had looked as if this storm might then stall out in our area and bring us an ugly week next week, however, it now appears that this storm will be pushed out to sea late on Monday night, clearing us out and keeping us dry and cooler for Tuesday through Friday.  Next weekend a chance for showers and thunderstorms will return as another cold front approaches and the showers and thunderstorms could be heavy at times on Sunday night and could linger into Monday.  After that front passes things should clear out, but remain quite cool.
