Wet...then warm
Heavy rainfall fell in parts today with radar estimates of 2 inches in less than an hour just north of Meridian. A few locations saw flash flooding due to the heavy rain falling on already saturated ground. The showers and thunderstorms are decreasing in coverage and will continue to do so as the sun sets and we lose the daytime heating.Sunday appears to be wet as well as several boundaries will be in place from today's thunderstorms. Those boundaries, combined with abundant moisture and daytime heating, will be the focal point for afternoon storms again tomorrow. Drier air starts to slide in tomorrow evening and will aid in a warming trend as we start the week. Temperatures will top out in the mid 90s as we get into Tuesday and Wednesday with decreasing rain chances as the week wears on.
Hurricane Emily continues on its trek westward towards the Yucatan Peninsula. As of 7 pm, Emily was a dangerous Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph. A Category 5 storm has winds of 156+ mph. It would not suprise me if Emily was fluctuating between Category 4 and Category 5 strength. It does not appear to be a threat to us, but we will continue to watch it and keep you up to date.
