Tuesday Weather

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

More Storms Coming

HOUSTON COUNTY  4:30 PM

After thunderous downpours mid-morning, new rounds of storms are blowing across the Wiregrass this afternoon. The Monday afternoon rains are pushing heavy rains and frequent lightening into south Alabama.

Just after 4 o’clock  the leading edge of rains was making it across Ashford and southern Houston County and is  pressing on east. So look out south Georgia.

Future radars indicate at least one more large area of storms will follow on the heels of these rains. That third of the day storm line is expected in a few hours, and forecasts predict possible rains on in through the night

Rains will roll across the Wiregrass this morning, an approaching front will touch off showers through the morning and maybe the most of the day, depending where front stalls.  Temperatures on Monday will make it into mid 80s.

Tonight we will see clouds but less rains. Lows barely make it into 70s.
