Thursday PM Forecast: a one day break from rain
It will be a pleasant finish to the workweek. The dry time will be brief though as eyes go on another frontal system Saturday.
Tonight & Tomorrow: Just a few clouds will pass through skies overnight. As winds shift to the northwest at 5-10mph, a drier air mass will help low temperatures in the low 60s. Friday will be mostly sunny with light north breezes. Expect a comfortable warmth in the low 80s.
Up Next: Rain chances continue to ramp up and it is beginning to look as though a batch of showers will pass over the central Gulf Coast on Saturday. Of course, timing is very important to and the day certainly does not look like a washout. Showers will begin to develop after 3pm and last into the nighttime hours. The activity should not be constant, rather off and on. Little more than a half inch or so is expected. Yet another cold front will blow through on Sunday morning followed by dry air, mainly clear skies and near average temperatures late Sunday afternoon well into the beginning of May. In fact, no rain is in sight through at least Wednesday.
