.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

Rest of today: Tropical Storm Beryl continues to push through our
region this afternoon. This storm has produced a large amount of
tornado warnings and confirmed tornadoes across much of east Texas
and central Louisiana already in the outer bands. Not anticipating
any of this letting up anytime soon and a Tornado Watch remains in
effect for much of the area through 10:00 PM tonight. In addition
to the tornado warnings, we also have a Flash Flooding potential
across the area as rainfall amounts up to 4-5 inches will be
possible.

Heading into this evening and overnight, we will continue to see
moderate to heavy rainfall along with strong thunderstorms and
gusty winds. Towards Tuesday morning we should see most of the
rain starting to move northeast and out of the area as the
remnants of Beryl push out of our region. Overnight temperatures
will range from the mid 60s to lower 70s across the area. Skies
will start to clear out on Tuesday in the wake of Beryl.
Temperatures will remain somewhat on the cooler side, with highs
ranging from the lower to upper 80s across the region. With
everything going on and some uncertainty with any wrap around
moisture, we are leaving the Flood Watch in place through early
Tuesday afternoon although there is a good chance that we could
let it expire early as the system exits the area. /33/

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

All eyes are highly focused on the short term portion of the
forecast. As such, will make the long term discussion fairly short
and sweet. Overall theme is that we will see increasing
temperatures through the rest of this week, into the weekend, and
even into next week as high pressure builds in the from the west.
Most of our precipitation chances will be confined to our southern
zones through the rest of the week with some uncertainty heading
into the weekend but overall QPF amounts will be on the low end
following Beryl. /33/
