After a stellar weekend, the weather pattern has changed little for today, but expect a gradually increase in clouds and humidity over the next few days.  Active weather to our west should stay there as an upper disturbance slowly weakens as it moves northeastward, well north of our area.  I would however expect a general increase in high cloudiness for late tomorrow with more clouds likely mid-late this week.  Humidity will also be on the rise as a deeper fetch of Gulf moisture will get dragged across the area.  Eventually a few showers will be possible later this week and into early next week but rain chances shouldn’t be too high.  In addition to higher humidity, temperatures will be nearing the 90 degree mark this weekend so it looks like it will feel quite summer like for the first weekend in May.  Check out the National Weather Service’s latest issue of Jambalaya, pretty cool stuff, including the tornado plot from the past winter and the association to El Nino.
