Tuesday Weather

ASHFORD:

The Tuesday lookin out the window weather looks much sunnier than Monday.  There is plenty of moisture in the ground and more streaming in from the Gulf in the air, but the rain chances look to be much less today than yesterday. Thats not to say it won’t rain today.  It might.  There is plenty of moisture to fuel afternoon rains and temperatures will creep closer to 90 for afternoon highs.

With all the wet weather from last few days there’s plenty of moisture in the ground to lift into afternoon rains: all the way through the weekend.

High temps during the day will be warming as we head deeper into the Summer season, lows at night will drop to near 70 the next few
