Discussion
High pressure will try to stay in control today, but a frontal boundary zone can result in a few scattered afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms. A series of disturbances will keep it even more unsettled here this weekend and there will be a daily shot of showers and thunderstorms with the threat primarily focused on the afternoon and evening hours. High pressure resumes control early next week and we’ll likely experience lots of sunshine from Monday through Wednesday and very warm conditions. Elsewhere, the tropics are very active and two different systems are likely going to have a high impact on the Gulf of Mexico region by the early or middle parts of next week.
