Rain Returns This Week:

* Nice weather to start the week as high pressure is keeping our weather quiet and quite warm. Sunday the offical high was 80 at Key Field with the possibility of daytime highs reaching the 80 degree mark once again today. (FYI: The normal high for this time of year is 69)

* The high will move off the Atlantic coast and allow moisture to return to the area by tomorrow. A weak front currently stalled near the Interstate 20 corridor will begin to slowly drift north over the next couple of days as a storm system over West Texas becomes better organized and shifts east into Mississippi and Alabama. The best rain chances look to begin Tuesday night and lasting through Thursday.

* Right now, an organized severe weather threat looks low, but with daytime heating a few storms could be strong. Although spring break will be wet a few days, we will pick up some badly needed rain. As of Monday morning, Key Field is running 7.63 inches below normal for 2007.

* We'll talk more about your forecast this morning on Good Morning Meridian at 6:00 AM and Josh will have more on your forecast tonight at 5:00 and 6:00 on Newscenter 11.
