A Tale of Two Cold Fronts...

Good evening!

I hope you enjoyed the day today... it could be one of our last really SUMMER-LIKE days for awhile! (highs in the upper 80s and humid conditions). A taste of fall moves in this week, and our temperatures will be closer to average.

We talked about two cold fronts yesterday, the first is northwest of us this evening:

It hasn't moved much today, because of Rita to our east. But overnight, this front will come through as a cold front, and it keeps us with a 30% chance of a few spotty thunderstorms. Not overly impressive, but a chance, nonetheless!

The front also means cooler temperatures for Monday... still thinking lower to mid 70s. And Tuesday STILL looks AWESOME with highs in the upper 70s and abundant sunshine!

Then the NEXT front moves in for Wednesday. Here is another look at the even COLDER air still forecast to spill in:

Check yesterday's blog entry... compare the images... the GFS is being consistant. Thursday and Friday mornings look to be in the 40s... chilly!

On to Rita stuff... some of the highest rainfall amounts, by state, through 7am:

LOUISIANA:
LAPLACE 12.4"
BUNKIE 10.0"

MISSISSIPPI:
GREENVILLE 6.6"
GREENWOOD 2.6"

There could still be accumulations of 2 to 3 inches of rain in the path of Rita's remnants!

Have a great evening! Gary is off Monday (he gets to watch MNF!), so I will be joining you once again for the evening weather!
