Discussion
High pressure will remain in control of the weather around here for another day before it shifts off the eastern seaboard opening the door for low pressure and its associated cold front to impact the region late tomorrow. It’ll be quite warm again today with plenty of sunshine and overall humidity will become more noticeable on Thursday ahead of this next frontal system. That front may result in some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity here later tomorrow and tomorrow night before clearing the east coast at the end of the work week. Elsewhere, a tropical system now over the northern Gulf of Mexico is very likely to intensify into a named (Barry) tropical storm by the end of the week. This developing system could very well have a direct impact this weekend on the Texas/Louisiana border region as a category 1 or 2 hurricane...we’ll continue to closely monitor the situation.
