An upper trough over Texas continues to produce continuous rainfall over parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. Moisture is being pulled in from the Pacific and the Gulf and is giving this area some much needed, steady rain. Here's the latest radar image:
As we head into Monday, this upper trough will begin to move east toward Mississippi. For now, Monday looks to be quite a washout with rain and storms lasting through the first half of Tuesday before tapering off late Tuesday afternoon.
By Tuesday morning, a cold front currently over the northern high plains will begin to interact with this upper disturbance before helping sweep everything out by Wednesday. This front will bring us a nice shot of cooler air, and many locations will drop into the 40s Wednesday and Thursday morning and highs may not touch 80.
Severe weather does not look likely at this point, instead, the main story will be the generous amounts of rain we receive. The map below, valid through Wednesday morning at 7AM, shows most locations will pick up at least an inch of rain, with the heaviest totals just east of the state.
