Much Better Chance of Rain Tomorrow

Hello there KAGS Weather Insiders. Its been a while, but we have been busy bees here at KAGS. Latest updates are our new weather app that you can download for Android and iPhone. Search, KAGS Weather and its 100% free. Additionally, students have been coming into the weather center from CSISD all this month to learn about meteorology and television. All of the students have been great and more are coming in until the end of June.

Anyway, lets get to the forecast.

Big storms have erupted over east Texas and Louisiana this afternoon, none are severe, but have produced very heavy rainfall. That complex of storms will slowly slide into our neck of the woods tomorrow. Overall, there is a huge dome of high pressure that is dominating the east coast at this time.

Note how the wind flows clockwise around the center of high pressure. Additionally, notice how broad this high is. Due to this circulation we are receiving winds that are directed from the east and southeast. Therefore, not only is this high transporting moisture from the gulf of Mexico, but from the Atlantic Ocean as well.

Solely from the moisture content, we could have some heavy duty storms that drop a ton of rain in a short amount of time. The only other ingredient we need is something to life the air. It could be a front, or body of low pressure. Of those we have the ladder, a body of low pressure that is hugging the coastline and slowly moving southwest.

Due to this extra lift and abundance of moisture, there will be a very good chance of experiencing a few thunderstorms tomorrow with heavy downpours and possibly some small hail. Same idea goes for Wednesday, but Tuesday will be the best day to see rainfall here across the Brazos Valley.

As this low moves south, the rain goes with it as well. Therefore, by Thursday the sky will clear and temperatures will sky rocket.

Overall, expect some areas of heavy rain Tuesday and Wednesday, with a huge warm up by the end of the week. Yup, 100° temperatures are in the forecast.
