Nice weather continues for now, watching the tropics closely

October 4, 2020

Pleasantly quiet weather is here to stay for the next several days. Temperatures will slowly climb closer to normal by the middle of the week with highs back into the low 80s. We’ll stay dry through at least Thursday, but a tropical system could bring showers by Friday and the weekend.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Another cool, calm, and quiet night. Plenty of starry sky with just a few high clouds passing by. Lows in the upper 40s to near 50.

MONDAY-THURSDAY: Most of this week will feature partly cloudy skies with highs back into the low and mid 80s by the middle of the week. Overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s. Rain chances remain at zero through Thursday.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY: With hurricane season continuing, we’ll be watching a disturbance in the Caribbean carefully as it enters the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of this week. If you have interests in southern Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama, or are planning a trip there this week, you’ll want to watch this storm carefully. Depending on the exact path, we could see some rain by Friday and Saturday. There’s still a lot of time for things to change, so we’ll have to continue to tweak the forecast. For now, prepare for some rain here locally on Friday and Saturday.
