07/19 – Brantly’s “Rain Possible Mid-Week” Sunday Night Forecast

Tonight, high pressure will dominate the region. Rainfall chances will be lower, especially over inland areas. Persistent southeasterly winds will help to bring in warm air and moisture into the region.

Heading into Monday and Tuesday, a typical summertime pattern will dominate. Southeasterly surface winds will enhance the moisture in the region. Rainfall chances will be higher in the marine areas. Showers and thunderstorms over land are possible, especially during peak daytime heating hours. These storms could have locally heavy rainfall, especially if they train or sit over one area for a longer period of time. These showers also have the potential to produce gusty winds and frequent lightning.

A tropical wave will move into the northern Gulf and increase rain chances beginning Wednesday and going through the weekend. Persistent southeasterly surface winds will help to enhance moisture moving into the region. High moisture content in the air, especially Thursday and Friday, provide evidence that rainfall potential will be elevated in any storms that form. The best location for storms to form is over the marine waters and right along the coast. These areas could see locally heavy rainfall from some storms, if they continue to sit over the same area. Rainfall chances will also be higher inland toward the weekend as some of this moisture progresses westward and northward, especially during peak daytime heating hours. These storms that form will have the potential to produce locally heavy rainfall (primarily if storms stall over one area), gusty winds, and frequent lightning.
