.DISCUSSION...
Some isolated to scattered storms can be expected late in the day
east of I-55 today. Eyes then focus across the northeast Gulf
where Tropical Depression 2 will be meandering early to midweek
before spreading westward. Expect both winds and rain chances to
gradually increase, especially south of the I10 corridor mid to
late week. No critical fire weather conditions anticipated.
