The Brief
- Dry start to the week
- Afternoons still warm
- Monitoring an area for development in the SW Gulf
Rain ends Sunday night
A few showers remain possible Sunday evening and into the overnight hours. Some downpours could produce heavy rain, mainly along the coast and south of I-10.
Relief this week
The unsettled pattern will finally begin to ease at the start of the week as a slow-moving front arrives. Slightly cooler and drier weather should follow, bringing a welcome break from the persistent rain.
Wake-up temperatures will likely be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Waters are very warm in the gulf and there isn’t much wind shear. These factors could lead to development that should move north.
We are expecting some higher rain chances along the gulf coast by the end of the week/next weekend. …
