We are finally seeing sunshine! However, that is not necessarily a good thing since the air is unsettled. Afternoon showers and storms possible.
By Friday, rain chances go up and so will the potential for an area of low pressure in the Western Caribbean lifting North and into the Gulf of Mexico. Computer models are showing that regardless of development with this area of low pressure, a soggy Memorial Day weekend is more likely. Look for periods of heavy rain, gusty winds and flooding. The ground is so saturated from all the rain we’ve received over the last 10 days, that flooding is a major concern. If the models are right, about 3 to 7 inches of rain could be possible in some areas between Friday and Monday.
Special tropical weather outlook is in and the chance is going up to a 60% for broad low pressure to form over the weekend when it moves into the Gulf. @wsvn pic.twitter.com/OFsiX1hqhZ
