(This evening through Sunday Night) Issued at 239 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024 High pressure over Texas will keep the weather generally uneventful, with the exception of isolated showers/storms possible north of I-10 this afternoon (Piney Woods/Livingston areas). Activity may also form along the sea breeze this afternoon as it moves inland. Otherwise, expect warm temperatures and partly cloudy skies. Lows for tonight Will be in the 70s with light patchy fog possible in the early morning hours. As for Sunday, a combination of a diffuse surface boundary moving, forcing from remnants of Ileana (coming from the Pacific) and remnants of Francine that will be sagging into the Lower Mississippi Valley will yield about a 20-30% chance of showers and storms generally west of I-45 on Sunday. Elsewhere, ridging and southerly flow will continue to contribute to above normal daytime temperatures as highs warm into the upper 80s along the coast and into the 90s further inland. Locations in the Brazos Valley may be a degree or two shy of 100F. Adams
