Lovely Week

Even though the holiday weekend is now behind us, the nice weather pattern continues. A weak front will move through Wednesday bringing the slight chance of an afternoon shower or thundershower. After a dry/pleasant Thursday and mostly dry Friday, things get more dicey this weekend as the potential for leftover moisture from Tropical Storm Hermine may arrive.

Voting for the 2011 RaysWeather.Com Calendar Photo Contest will begin later this week.

Forecast Discussion

High pressure will remain in control of our weather for one more day--lots of sun with somewhat warmer temperatures. Wednesday a weak front will move through with the slightest chance of a late afternoon or early evening shower or t-shower. Behind this front Thursday, expect another dry/pleasant day.

As we move toward the weekend, things get a little more dicey. The front that moves through Wednesday will return as a warm front Saturday carrying moisture from Tropical Storm Hermine currently in the Bay of Campeche. Then Saturday night a front from the NW is expected to move through. The result will be a gradual increase in shower/thundershower chances late Friday and Friday night (still only isolated coverage), then scattered shower/thundershower coverage Saturday. We have to leave at least a slight chance of a shower into Sunday with the front close.

The Atlantic Basin remains "tropically active"...
1. A tropical depression formed in the Bay of Campeche late yesterday. It strengthened into Tropical Storm Hermine early this morning and is headed toward the northern Mexico coast tonight.
2. The remnants of Tropical Storm Gaston are still active in the Atlantic headed toward the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean--this could strengthen back into a tropical storm during the next couple days.
3. Low pressure is moving off the African Coast today, a possible tropical system in the making over the next several days.
