Most areas enjoyed some off-and-on rain over the weekend and all of us experienced cooler-than-normal temperatures -- no complaints here!  The wet weather pattern will hang around at least a few more days, so don't leave home without your umbrella.  In fact, we've got activity on the radar right now.  It's an overall 50% rain chance today, with forecast highs in the upper 80s to near 90.

The atmosphere over our part of Texas is fairly humid and moderately unstable so, as the days heats up, we'll be looking for more showers & storms to fire up.  Plan for more briefly heavy downpours which, at times, could reduce visibility and make driving conditions quite hazardous.

Slightly drier air from the east will start to push into our region tomorrow and that'll limit the rain chance to only 20%.  Our in-house computer model shows a few isolated showers trying to develop on Tuesday then more numerous showers could break out on Wednesday.  For now, it's a 20% rain chance through Thursday.

Upper-level high pressure is expected to remain centered north of Texas, over the Rockies and Plains, for the time being.  It'll have a bit more influence on our weather later this week, and we'll likely turn drier and hotter with a return to upper 90s possible as soon as Friday.

This morning's models are picking up on a slow-moving area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico that could reach Texas with some impact starting on Sunday.  Stay tuned!  We'll talk more about this possibility on 'Weather on the 1s' so be sure to join us on TV or watch the live stream.
