In case you haven’t noticed the rain has arrived; a little early, but none the less it is here and from the looks of things it plans on staying awhile.
Ark building classes will commence in the engineering department as soon as we can set up the saws and figures out what a cubit is.
All joking aside we are in for a wet week.
First things first, we are the recipients of the moisture from the remnants of “Olaf”. Olaf, or what is left of it will move across the Baja over the next 24 hours.
The second item is a broad upper level trough which will continue to bring moisture and disturbances across north Texas for the next few days.
Number three is the old front which has turned into a warm front just north of the Texas coast and will begin moving north shortly. Dew points south of the front are in the 70’s which translates into juicy air.
As this front moves toward us our chances for any severe weather will increase Monday afternoon to evening as a cold front begins pushing into our northwestern counties.
As of now the front arrives between late Tuesday afternoon and early evening. If that isn’t enough, another front comes in Thursday around midnight, according to the afternoon models.
In short our rain coverage will be around 80-90% tomorrow then drop to the 30 to 50% range for the remainder of the week.
