The last time we received widespread rainfall (There was a local storm over parts of the city on the Saints' opening game) was way back on August 28-29. That weekend 2-3 inches soaked most of SE LA. Tonight a strong upper disturbance is diving southward across Texas triggering several waves of showers and T-Storms. This will be a slow moving system that will take until Thursday morning to get to our east. Rainfall totals could be 2-4" if some "training effect" storms develop. Temperatures will be warm (75-80) on Tuesday, a little cooler Wednesday (70-75) and then significantly colder Thursday (60s) into Friday & Saturday (55-60). This will be the coldest air so far this season with the Northshore getting near freezing Sat-Sunday mornings. A warming trend will begin on Sunday.
Tropical Storm Tomas still is churning down in the Central Caribbean. He can't head our way with all these cold fronts but Tomas could turn northward over Haiti later this week bringing flooding rains to areas still suffering from the big earthquake.
