this Sunday. >> Yeah I get you know clouds
came back pretty aggressive
this morning and then I was out
running earlier this afternoon.
I was like oh, hey the humidity
is back as well so you can get
a few showers out there nothing
major that will be the case of
real have your stuff will start
to slowly come through as we
get into your Tuesday Wednesday
aest kind of time frame we're
talking about this last night
too so I think that's what will
be looking for
terms of do need just kind of
keep an eye to the sky as we
head in towards that Tuesday
Wednesday time frame so I'll
show you what I mean here just
SEC first, let's head out to
the zoo. When the spots are the
dress cut their steps in the
CIP it wasn't working so they
are now doing what they got to
do here anyway, nice day as you
get down to the zoo so far
looking good to get
temperatures will cool hovering
in the mid upper 60's to about
70 degrees as you head out to
Katie no problems there
expected as well precise out
these winds got everybody
sitting in the mid to upper
60's and that's about where
we're going to park it for the
rest the night I do not expect
to see much of a cool down if
any at all in some spots
because of that city
South wind, fairly breezy to
get ready for the winds to
start picking up we've got wind
gusts out there for about.
Let's say 1723 mile an hour in
Huntsville by tomorrow,
especially Tuesday as the front
approaches I would clock these
closer to about 30 to 35 we
will likely see a fairly breezy
couple of days coming up.
Pretty little fire hose of
Pacific moisture. This is kind
of where that real gray sky
came from that scene was
mentioning. It's all of that
sliding its way in from the
tropics down around Hawaii and
then we've got a little area of
low pressure try to get its act
together in Southern California
keep a watch on
that one along with the next
one that's coming through now
show you where the bigger
picture here just a SEC for so
it's taken time
and get you ready for the rest
the night tonight, couple of
quick showers out there notice
the temperatures can hold in
the mid 60's. They really don't
budge much through tomorrow
morning. So as you get up and
out the door and get the kids
out what really need a jacket
maybe a light jacket at this
and that's about it by tomorrow
afternoon we're talking mid to
upper
upper 70's, breezy. Mcgee a quick
flare up of a shower or
thunderstorm not out of the
question but no more than about
20% so similar to what we
saw today and then we're going
to be watching for this save
low pressure is going to drop
in that is that gets a little
closer to us it was stall out
just to the north of us around
Dallas to get all this moisture
pulling in Monday and Tuesday
could see some scattered
showers and then remember that
low told you about in Los
Angeles. The energy firm that's
going to work its way over the
southern Rockies right around
El Paso at the tail end of that
front and that's where you can
create is a weaknesses
and you get a little surface
low to develop and
unfortunately sometimes those
can be real tricky
depending on is it a little
further off shore is a little
further on shore right now
looks like it's going to kind
of track right
across us which actually will
keep the heaviest rain to the
north of his between here in
Dallas if that was a little
further South and gets tapping
into some of this Gulf moisture
will have to watch out because
we could see some heavy rain
both Tuesday night into
Wednesday and that's kind of
the time frame. Now we're
looking at me show you what it
looks like right now this is
the current models that we know
the majority of that as I said
looks like it's going to stay a
little further North that's the
case we should be a-ok now we
have seen a whole lot of rain
recently so take a decent
amount but it is just one of
the forecast but keep a real
close eye on over the next
couple of days
of course when you know that
those are the 2 days that rodeo
starts both Tuesday. Wednesday,
but as we get towards the
weekend. We will replace that
with sunshine in a cowboy
covers rain Happ cowboy hat
covers it's probably going to
talk to I knew for sure right,
thanks Justin to.
