Discussion
High pressure will control the weather again today providing us with plenty of sunshine a warmer conditions compared to Tuesday. Strong low pressure will pass by well to our northwest later in the day and drag a cool front through the area ushering in cooler air for the next couple of days. High pressure will then resume control at the end of the week and for the beginning part of the weekend – after that, attention will turn to the southern states. Hurricane “Delta” has rapidly intensified during the past couple of days and may have a direct impact on the north-central Gulf coastal region by the early part of the weekend. Once inland, the remnants of Hurricane “Delta” are likely to run to the north and east bringing significant rainfall to the Deep South and Tennessee Valley. In fact, the remains of “Delta” could result in some rainfall around here by the late stages of the upcoming weekend.
