Forecast Summary This Week
Today's Forecast
5 Day Outlook
The first half of the week looks like generally nice weather as a reinforcing surface front will bring another dry air mass to the region through mid-week. Late in the week into the weekend, Gulf moisture will surge back into the region and work with upper level disturbances to bring daily chances for rain.

A relatively dry air mass should hang around the area today. This will provide nice weather with mostly sunny skies and near zero chance for rain. Temperatures will be near normal in the lower to mid 90s for highs. Lower dew points with the drier air will keep the heat index in check with most areas staying below 100 degrees.

Drier air will filter will be reinforced by another frontal boundary moving through on Tuesday. This will allow for low rain chances and less humid conditions through Thursday. Moisture will increase by the end of the week allowing for rain chances to be in the forecast again for Friday and Saturday.
