On your side, meteorologist Brian Thomas has your First alert
forecast
and a good Sunday morning.
Starting out in mid to upper 70s this morning.
We've got 76° here in Columbus,
76 out of four more
77, Phoenix City, Buda Vista,
Lumpkin looking at 75. Pine Mountain,
Tolberton coming in 75 as well.
Auburn Opelika, 74° this morning.
So a mild start to your Sunday and looking at
the dry start to your Sunday as well.
Just some clouds out there.
We'll see a mix of some of clouds for much
of the day today and then we'll see some isolated
showers and storms erupt coming up later today.
Now, yesterday we showed you this graphic.
Remember Friday night we had those showers and storms that
fired up Russell County,
southern Harris County, northern Muskogee County,
over toward the Talbleton and Junction City area.
Well, yesterday it was just the exact opposite.
We had a little bit more rain off to our
east,
but the folks that didn't see the rain on Friday
night did see some rain yesterday.
So that was good. We get to share the the
wealth a little bit.
Now heated X, that's going to be another story,
not only yesterday but today as well.
We're talking about heated X is up around one O
5 later on today.
In fact, late, even late tonight,
we're going to be in the mid 90s as I
mean,
that's what's going to feel like anyway up around even
10:00.
Checking out your forecast map for today,
get the stationary front situated across the region.
It's going to help fire up some showers and storms
later on this afternoon.
They are going to be quite isolated for today as
we go into the afternoon.
Still got some isolated showers.
Looks like mainly South and east of us,
but here locally we could see some isolated showers or
storms.
So keep those unbundles handy just in case.
Even through late tonight, those showers and storms persisting a
little bit.
Then as we go through the overnight,
they'll fizzle out. Starting out your Monday morning,
much like today, just a mix of sun and clouds
and then tomorrow looks like a little bit more scattered
to widespread across the region.
So a little bit better chances of rain probably tomorrow.
And then as we go into Tuesday,
we're back to more of an isolated variety,
even though that is still kind of widespread across the
region,
it's still isolated in nature.
And then as we head into Wednesday,
things start to dry out a little bit as those
showers and storms become more of a stray variety.
In fact, if we look at our rain chances for
the next seven days,
that kind of really reiterates that.
Just isolated chances for today,
scattered tomorrow, isolated on Tuesday and then stray chances pretty
much the rest of the week into the weekend.
Latest on barrel, still a tropical storm,
winds at 60 mph. They do expect this thing to
strengthen back into a hurricane.
In fact, it looks like it's starting to get its
act together just a little bit this morning.
And some of the shear that was disrupting the storm
over the last couple of days has started to relax.
Got hurricane warnings up for pretty much Corpus Christi to
just east of Galveston.
Landfall expected somewhere in between there as we take a
look at the forecast map for barrel.
There you go. Making landfall looks like early,
early Monday morning and then eventually making its way up
toward the Arkansas area by looks like Tuesday afternoon,
Tuesday morning. So bottom line is got a lot of
rain headed toward the Texas and Arkansas area.
All right, Sunday forecast looking at
95° for your high today.
Heating X is up around one O 4,
one O 5. Got an isolated shower or storm possible
next seven days.
We're talking about some isolated to scattered chances to start
the week and then we try things out toward the
end of the week.
