..A WET AND STORMY WEEK EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHLAND
A DRAMATIC SHIFT IN THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL BRING HEAVY AND
PROLONGED RAINS TO SOUTHEAST TEXAS BEGINNING MONDAY AFTERNOON.
THIS RAIN WILL CROSS THE SABINE RIVER INTO LOUISIANA MONDAY
EVENING. THE CULPRIT WILL BE A COMBINATION OF DEVELOPING LOW
PRESSURE OFF THE TEXAS COAST...DEEP MOISTURE OFF THE GULF...AND A
PACIFIC COLD FRONT DRIVEN BY A STRONG JET STREAM.
AFTER THE FIRST WAVE OF ROUGH WEATHER MOVES THROUGH LATE TUESDAY,
A DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REPEAT THE PROCESS OVER THE
LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEK. POTENTIAL RAINFALL FOR THE UPCOMING
WEEK COULD RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10 INCHES. CONSIDERING AREAS
STILL DRAINING FROM LAST WEEK'S RAINS, FLOODING IS A POSSIBILITY
OVER THE UPCOMING WEEK.
