4/29 – Final Monday of April Forecast

Several fronts north of the area could produce a few showers or even a t-storms later today…but it will stay west of the viewing area in SE Louisiana. That’ll be the last chance for any rain until mid-week. Meanwhile, the return flow will elevate humidity and warm temperatures into the low to mid 80s today and even a couple degrees warmer Tuesday. Rain chances will begin to creep back in late Wednesday as the second of 3 disturbance moves across the upper Mississippi River. Much like today, only low rain chances mainly in the NW’tern zones of area.

The third disturbance of the week looks like it will track more of a west to east movement across the country rather than SW to NE. It also is more likely to reach well to the southern portions of the country. This will bring the next appreciable rain chances to all of the forecast area. The weekend should characterized by scattered daily showers and thunderstorms. The biggest question at this point is whether high rain chances will begin Friday or Saturday.
