8/15 – Rob’s HOT/HUMID Midday News Forecast

Today will be a transition day as deeper moisture will slowly moves back into the area. This gets a better kick overnight into Thursday which will enhance the numbers of showers/t-storms around the area through the remainder of the week/weekend.

The heat will still be there outside cooling rains but should not be as hot with deeper moisture and more shade from cloud cover.

Slowing moving/stationary t-storms could provide for heavy rainfall and potentially flash flooding. Strong winds of 30+mph will be possible with storms mainly in SE Louisiana. Downburst numbers are now coming in a little higher for Thursday so there will be the possibility of an isolated severe thunderstorm today but more so on Thursday.

The only other feature of interest is a cold front that may visit by mid to late next week. But discussing any individual variables associated will have to wait until after this weekend.
