About the best thing we can say about today's rain - at least it didn't spoil a weekend day. Hope you got to where you needed to without too much hassle but it sure has been a mess. Looks now that the worst may be past us, but can't rule out a few more brief, passing showers. The upper-level disturbance triggering the downpours will slowly move away from us overnight, giving us a break from the rain. We'll see a mixed bag the next few days before the return of more rain and winter's chill next week.
Since the source of today's rain isn't a cold front, don't expect a big cool down once the rains do come to an end sometime overnight. Instead, a quick return of a moist southeast flow keeps us muggy and mild. Looking down the road toward the weekend, I'm still tracking a strong cold front which will trigger more rain Saturday night (Mardi Gras revelers take note) going into Sunday. THAT rain will be followed by a big drop in temperatures and a return of the "overrunning" pattern that was common at the beginning of January.
