The upper low that has been trying to give us healthy storms remains parked in Eastern Texas near Lufkin. On visible satellite imagery this TUTT (tropical upper troposhpheric trough) looks eerily similar to where TS Allison parked back in 2001. The difference with this system is that the moisture is not nearly as deep as a true tropical system. We haven’t see big rains in most of Acadiana today, but tomorrow could be different.Â
Look for more storms near the center of this circulation tomorrow mainly in extreme Eastern Texas into Southwest Louisiana near Lake Charles. Scattered storms will be in the mix for the rest of us with locally heavy rains possible in the heavier storms.Â
An upper level high will nudge in from the north and east by midweek allowing the aforementioned low to get pushed back to the southwest while it slowly weakens. This will knock down our rain chances into the 20-30% range and should allow temperatures to push back into the low-mid 90s for the rest of the week. Rob Perillo
