Plenty of tropical moisture will stay in the region through the next 24-36 hours with 2-3 inches likely area-wide by Wednesday evening.  Isolated areas may see a little more than that with the threat of greater than 5 inches of rain mostly likely toward Lake Charles and SE Texas. High pressure with drier more stable air should bank in from the east toward the end of the week which in turn will lower our rain chances to more seasonal levels…that means temperatures getting back into the mid-90s.Â
As for our area of disturbed weather in the Gulf, it appears that the lower level circulation remains inland in South Texas but could redevelop farther to the east in open waters. If the center reforms offshore and the National Hurricane Center finds a closed circulation (no evidence of this at press time), the system could become a tropical depression. The bottom line, one way or another we’ll see plenty of moisture and rains through Wednesday evening.  Breezy S/SE winds should pick up tomorrow, especially in and near more organized tropical rain showers.  Â
