Tuesday's Weather: Showers and isolated storms possible
EAST TEXAS (KLTV/KTRE) - You will want to keep the rain gear handy as several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be possible over this week. This morning we’re waking up to partly to mostly cloudy skies, mild temperatures in the lower 70s, and some light patchy fog. Showers and thundershowers will be somewhat limited in coverage this morning but will likely become more widespread throughout the late morning and early afternoon hours, especially for our southern and central counties which will be south of a stalled-out front. Severe weather does not look likely for today, but some heavy rainfall will be possible at times. A potent upper-level weather pattern will keep scattered rain chances in the forecast through the week, meaning similar coverage for showers and storms will be expected for through Friday before rain becomes somewhat spottier over the weekend. Due to the threat of heavy rains, you might want to plan on avoiding flood-prone locations by the middle of this week as they may not be able to handle the steady stream of downpours parts of ETX could see. Since we’re dealing with scattered rains and cloudy skies, temperatures will remain well below average each afternoon with highs for most only climbing into the middle to upper 80s Monday through Saturday, with a few areas potentially hitting 90° by Sunday or next Monday.
