Sunny Sunday

Today was much better without the severe storms. We only had a few seabreeze storms develop near the coast but as they moved inland they weakened. Seabreeze storms develop when the land heats up faster than the Gulf and the cooler air over the water moves inland as a small scale cool front. The differences in temperature and dewpoint causes the air to rise and produce rain. Most seabreeze showers are very heavy with occasional lightning and collapse before they reach I-10. At night the pattern reverses itself as the land cools and the water is warmer, storms develop offshore. This is what we can expect through the work-week as ridging aloft keeps any organized storms from forming. Skies will stay mostly sunny through about Wednesday before deep tropical moisture makes a comeback. Still not much going on in the tropics and hopefully it will stay that way.
