Isolated Storms Sunday and Labor Day, More Rain Next Week: Saturday Evening Forecast 8/31/2024
SUMMARY: The tropics are being monitored, with one system in the central Atlantic, which may slowly develop as it approaches the Caribbean, but currently poses no threat to the Gulf Coast. Another system in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico is causing scattered showers in Louisiana and Mississippi, with some rain expected in Texas. Locally, isolated showers are likely on Sunday and into Labor Day, with a 30% chance of rain. Rain chances will increase significantly mid-week, reaching 70% by Wednesday, before tapering off on Saturday. Expect temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, with warm, humid conditions.
Isolated showers and storms will stick around for the rest of the weekend and to start the work week. Tonight, we will have the chance for more brief showers and it will stay humid. Overnight lows will sit in the low- to mid-70’s. Sunday will start with a chance for showers along the coast, and more isolated showers and a few storms will push inland into the afternoon and evening. Highs will sit at around 90 degrees. Rip current risk will be moderate for Sunday, low for Labor Day, and back to moderate by Tuesday. For Labor Day, More isolated storms will be possible, but not everyone will see those showers. It will be hot with highs pushing into the low- to mid-90’s. This will likely be our last hot day for several days as a surge of moisture brings elevated rain chances for the rest of the work week. Highs will drop into the mid- to upper-80’s, and scattered showers and storms will be possible through Friday. In the tropics, we are tracking two areas. One was in the eastern Atlantic and now is not expected to form. Another is in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico with a low chance of formation right now, but it could have some slow development as it lingers along the coasts of Louisiana and Texas. It does not pose a threat to our area. The last area is in the central Atlantic, and it has a medium chance of formation over the next seven days. We could see this slowly develop next week as it moves into the Caribbean. It is too soon to know the exact path and strength of this system, but we will have the latest on air and on WKRG.com.
