The South is Gonna Rain Again.....

[Guest]

Well folks its started - another round of rain for Texas - LA - MS - AL and finally Florida. We have a 80% chance of rain today - then again a couple more days down the road. Seems like we have numerous systems off the coast of California and they will be coming across like clock work. Hopefully the parades in the South for Mardi Gras will get to run - maybe the rain will hold off for them until Wednesday.

Stay Dry.....

HAPPY MARDI GRAS.

OKAY!!This is getting ridiculous!!We have not seen the yellow orb for eight straight days and may not see it for a few more!!! We woke up to 55F this am and it is now 48f, .6" of rain later!! With probably that much more behind it I don't like our prospects for drying out anytime soon. Can you say send in the monkeys? The jungle is mature in my backyard!!! :? And it was supposed to get to 66f today? WHERE???

All you Houstonians and those to our east stay dry and safe!

Southern GA getting drenched right now.

[HurricaneGirl]

It is supposed to rain here all night in Jacksonville. It's already started.

[Stormsfury]

Right now, the heaviest activity is staying south of CHS.

[Stormsfury]

Latest RUC Soundings and RUC model runs indicate most of the precip will stay in Southern GA and Northern Fla ATT. However, some concerns for thunderstorms in South Carolina as some instability sets in on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning timeframe.

Subtle differences between the 18z ETA and 18z GFS in regards to a secondary precip maxima across Southern GA and Southern SC with the ETA being heavier. Irregardless, both paint some pretty decent rainfalls across the Panhandle of Florida in the short term.
