Daily DetailsHello, Chief Meteorologist Dan Skoff here with a check on the forecast.
As we go into Friday a cool front presses in from the north. That front will lead to some showers/storms, especially during the afternoon hours. After Friday the front just sits in the area for Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day!
On Tuesday another cool front starts to move into the area, giving us some spotty shower/storm chances. That front looks like it will linger around for the middle and end of next week, keeping a continued spotty rain/storm chance going in the forecast through late next week!
Another thing we will be watching is whatever is left of tropical storm Gustav. Sometime early next week that system will make landfall along the US gulf coast. Where that system hits will determine if the remnants of it move into our area or stay away from us. It's way too early to speculate on that but if it did move into our area early next week, the rain/storm chances would go up from what they are now. Stay tuned for more on Gustav in the coming days!
Overall, the weather pattern is not going to be super busy but we will have some small rain/storm chances in the forecast to deal with. It certainly does not look like a washout at this point for any of the holiday weekend, but some folks will have to deal with a few hit or miss storms at times. The two cool fronts that I was talking about earlier will help with the rain/storm chances, but they won't help provide us with any cooling relief from the heat! High temperatures look to stay pretty close to 90 for the next 5 to 7 days, as summer continues to roll on across the Mid-South.
We will be sure to keep a close eye on that holiday weekend forecast for you, also on the forecast with Gustav. At this point I don't see any major problems for us with either system but like all weather forecasts, things could change between now and the weekend/early next week. Have a great day!
