The tropics are currently very active with Harvey about to slam into Texas and likely generating tremendous amounts of rainfall and a second tropical system churning near Florida. Harvey is going to slow down to a crawl and perhaps even be “forced” to do a loop over southeast Texas, but eventually its moisture is likely to push to the northeast and it could impact our region by the middle of next week.

The tropics are currently quite active with one system likely to have a big impact on Texas in coming days and another system sitting right near the NW Bahamas. Both systems will have to be monitored closely over the next several days. The first system could eventually make a turn to the northeast after likely pounding Texas with some heavy rainfall and the second will probably be a slow-mover and undergo some intensification in coming days right near the Southeast US coastline.

The tropics are currently quite active with one system likely to have a major impact on Texas and Louisiana in coming days with tremendous rainfall potential and another system sitting right near the coast of Florida. Both systems will have to be monitored closely over the next several days. The first system could eventually make a turn to the northeast and impact this area after likely pounding Texas and Louisiana with heavy rainfall. The second wave will probably be a slow-mover and undergo some intensification in coming days right near the Southeast US coastline.

High pressure ridging will weaken today and a broad trough of low pressure will swing towards the region from the Upper Midwest. The combination of an advancing frontal system and a moist air mass will raise the chances for showers and thunderstorms overnight and especially on Wednesday. Following the passage of the frontal system, temperatures will trend downward during the second half of the week to quite comfortable levels for late August.

Eclipse day has finally arrived and there will be a few clouds around this afternoon and also the chance for an isolated PM thunderstorm. Cumulus clouds are likely to form by afternoon and there is enough instability to support isolated storms, but nothing on a widespread basis. Any storms that form later this afternoon would dissipate this evening. Special solar eclipse glasses must be worn throughout today's event.

Unsettled weather will develop early this week as a front lifts northward into the region. This front will coincide with an upper-level trough to bring about the chance of showers and thunderstorms as we begin the new work week. Any shower or storm that forms over the next few days can produce heavy rainfall in a short period of time.

Unsettled weather continues for the region as very moist air combines with an approaching frontal system to generate instability in the atmosphere. Showers and thunderstorms are likely again today and the threat will continue for the next couple days as well. Flash flooding may become a concern at any time over the next few days as any shower or storm could produce heavy rainfall amounts in a short period of time.

A strong high pressure ridge is centered across the western Atlantic Ocean and it’ll continue to pump in moist air for the Tennessee Valley. An upper-level trough over the Great Plains will shift slowly eastward over the next couple days and this combined with the high moisture content in the current air mass will result in a continuing chance of showers and thunderstorms in the area for much of the week.

A strong high pressure ridge is centered across the western Atlantic Ocean and it’ll pump in moist air across the Tennessee Valley. An upper-level trough over the Great Plains will shift slowly eastward over the next couple days and this combined with the high moisture content in the current air mass will result in a good chance of showers and thunderstorms for the area for much of the week.
