New Hurricane Outlook Podcast Today, Stalling Front Brings Heavy Rain Potential

 It's taken me a while to do the research in finding graphics that allow me to story tell about the coming 2026 hurricane season.  We released to our subscribers today what I feel is likely to happen this summer and you can watch & hear my opinions by signing up at bobbreck.com. 


In terms of our local weather, we're back stuck with a stalling frontal boundary along the Gulf coast that will see several upper disturbances trigger waves of heavy rainfall off & on into Sunday.  The upper air pattern is locked into a western trough and a west to east flow across the northern Gulf states.



NWS is calling for 1-3" rain totals through Sunday with the higher amounts north of Lake P. The next disturbance is moving into Texas triggering the next wave of rainfall for us later tonight.




Despite last weekend's rainfall, this week's drought monitor is little changed keeping us in level 3 (extreme) with level 4 (exceptional) covering Florida & south Georgia.  The rains the next 2-3 days should really help diminish the drought coverage.




This cold front has no major cooldown with it, but is keeping us below normal/average for early May.



We finally look to clear out early next week with a gradual warming to the mid to upper 80s.  So keep the rain gear handy through Mother's Day or until we can get this frontal boundary to move on out.  Don't forget to sign up for my latest podcast.  Stay tuned!
