We will see greater coverage of showers and storms this morning with the potential of gusty winds and heavy rainfall, so you will want to give yourself some extra time for your morning commute. Rain coverage will wind down some by the early afternoon hours with only isolated showers and thunderstorms possible for the remainder of the day. Despite many locations drying out, temperatures will trend well below average this afternoon with highs only warming into the middle to upper 80s! Scattered rains will remain possible Friday and Saturday as well, although coverage will remain focused more on Deep East Texas both days. Since many locations will remain dry Fri into Sat, expect a slight rebound to our PM temps with many climbing back into the lower 90s. Our active weather pattern sticks around for Sunday as well as the first half of next week, meaning greater coverage of showers and storms is expected along with cooler than average temperatures! Keep the umbrella and the First Alert Weather App handy today and be safe on those wet roads especially if you encounter any heavy rain.
