Rain and storms early in the week Advertisement

A big weather system is moving across the country. It’s pulling warm, wet Gulf air into our area.

Because of this, we will see:

Rain tonight and Tuesday

Some strong thunderstorms

Wet roads and slower travel

If you drive Monday night or Tuesday, give yourself extra time. Some storms may be strong, so be careful on the roads.

Cold front brings cooler, windy weather

After the storms move out Tuesday, a cold front will push in.

This front will bring:

Cooler temperatures

Windy weather

A big change from the warm air we have now

Thanksgiving Day and Friday will be cooler than normal, especially in the morning and evening.
