Good afternoon everyone,
The cold front continues to progress southeast with temperatures in the 60s behind it. The front is now beginning to be affected by the circulation around Gustav, but we may end up in a zone where some very heavy rain falls later today. We will be tracking these developments on NBC Action News at 5, 6, and 10 PM tonight.
As you can see below we are now almost under the broad circulation of Gustav, which will limit the convergence on the front. There will likely be some lifting along and north of the front through tonight so I am still expecting some nice rainfall amounts, but not for everyone.
Gustav needs to be a bit farther west if we are to expect any significant rain Wednesday into Thursday. If it drifts into Oklahoma from the southeast we will have much better chance, but as it stands right now the heaviest rain will likely track will east and southeast of us.
