Tuesday Morning Discussion

Unfortunately the clean, crisp air we are experiencing today and Wednesday will not last throughout the week. Computer models generally agree that a warm front will bring some clouds, humidity, and a chance of summer storms sometime Thursday and Friday. The GFS model shows more storms possible over the weekend as the tail end of a cold front from a Low pressure system up in Canada moves south over the area. It looks like another Low pressure system will develop later to finally push all the unsettled weather out to sea with another cold front passing through sometime on Labor Day. It doesn't look like this Labor Day weekend will be quite as pleasant as we all hope for, but fortunately it won't be ruined by another Hurricane.

Another interesting thing to watch is a possible tropical system developing in the Gulf of Mexico later in the week that could possibly impact Texas and the gulf coast. Both the GFS and the WRF models show a potent system brewing. Also, keep an eye on Tropical Storm Katia out in the Atlantic. It is forecasted to become a Hurricane by Thursday, and it is following a very similar track to Hurricane Irene. Katia could potentially impact the East coast some time next week. Stay tuned...
