Spectacular Sunday. Catastrophic Flooding Southeast Texas…

 

Synopsis:

A spectacular Sunday is forecast for the trip-state area. High pressure will dominate the Northeastern quarter of the country through Monday. Temperatures will remain in the 70s with mainly sunny skies. Overnight lows will be quite chilly, especially inland.

Tropical Storm Harvey is now inland over Southeastern Texas.  Historic flooding is and will continue to occur for the next several days. Some areas may receive in excess of 50″+ of rain.

A tropical wave over Florida will move out into the Western Atlantic Monday and then move Northeast. Many of the computer models have this system strengthening into a tropical storm. Will it come close enough to affect our weather later Tuesday? Right now it looks to stay offshore. What the system will do is create a Northeast flow off the ocean and kick up the surf and rip current threat. Some clouds will come our way but rain is not expected. Please continue to check back as a shift to the West will increase the threat of rain and wind.

Stay Tuned.
