Forecast Discussion

An upper level disturbance moving across the Gulf Coast states will provide one more night with lots of clouds and there could be a stray shower. Thursday will feature a good deal of sunshine, with temperatures a few clicks warmer.

High pressure will finally get a stronghold on our weather by the end of the week/beginning of the weekend, as the air mass moderates noticeably. We've got some nice outdoor weather lined-up for your Friday and Saturday as a result.

A strong cold front will push across the state on Sunday with a good shot of rain. Much colder air will arrive Sunday night with a few snow showers and/or flurries into Monday. Temperatures won't get back above normal until the middle of next week. Don't unpack the shorts just yet...
