Thursday September 15, 2011

Skies will be sunny with mid to high level clouds, as the remnants of the tropical wave interact with cooler high pressure air, to form a frontal boundary just to the north of us. High pressure in the Gulf of Mexico, will keep this system in place for the next day or so. There is a slight chance for intermittent rain and thunderstorms, especially late at night or early in the morning.
