Ike is now the big story...

Hurricane Ike currently has winds of 100mph and is heading towards the TX coast. The NHC predicts a landfall just north of Corpus Christi, TX, and south of Houston. THE NHC NOW PREDICTS THAT HURRICANE IKE WILL HAVE CATEGORY 4 WINDS OF 135MPH WITHIN 12 HOURS OF HITTING TEXAS! Stay tuned for more, and as always you can always track Ike by clicking on the National Hurricane Center link on the side of my blog...
Also, notice that the track of Ike might take the storm our way...

Meanwhile, a lot of rain could be heading our way in the near future...

Tomorrow, I will introduce a 30% chance of afternoon showers/storms, as highs make it to around 80 again.

However, Thursday night-Saturday morning could be a substancial rain event for our area. As a warm front slowly drifts north, widespread rain/storms will take over the area. Temps will be in the mid 70s with the rain cooled air.

Saturday will feature leftover light showers, with temps in the upper 70s.

Sunday will be cloudy but dry with highs in the upper 70s.

Meanwhile, Sunday night-Tuesday will feature additional rain from Hurricane Ike. Monday could have a small severe weather threat depending on the track, but we will definitely get some rain out of this as well. Temps will hold steady in the mid 70s.

Wednesday will help dry us out because it will be sunny with highs in the mid 70s.
