Sunny skies have given us a beautiful week. High pressure will continue as we head into the beginning of the weekend. Temperatures will reach into the upper 70s with lows near 50. Toward the end of the weekend high pressure will slide east making way for a disturbance to bring our next chance of rain. An upper level low moving out of the Gulf will produce showers and thunderstorms starting late on Sunday and continue through Monday. By Tuesday the low should be east of us and rain chances will go down. Then we will turn our attention to Ida and what that storm is doing. Computer models show the storm entering the Gulf on Tuesday as a tropical storm that may continue to strengthen. I think most of us have forgotten that it’s still hurricane season because of the long break we’ve had but Ida wants to remind us that the season isn’t over until the end of the month. Ida is a tropical depression now over Nicaragua and may re-emerge over water in the next few days. In the near term, enjoy the sunshine this weekend!
