going to cause damage and that is obviously highly populated area. we don't want to see that. this is the high blocking everything. about as east as things will move, this line here. nothing is going to get through this high at least for now. it will take the entire week to break down. until that happens we're not going to get the weather that is to our west. in fact they are going to continue to day get after day of heavy rain and also severe thunderstorms as well. some pockets of up to a foot of rain possible because. that when you get this block you have weather that doesn't move. it's a problem as we saw last year with our front that stalled out for the entire month of august almost. eventually the rain will push to the east a little here, timing, well, we still have to work it out. saturday late or into sunday so we salvage half the weekend. but keep checking back with us. not expecting severe weather, by the time it arrives it will be much weaker, just rain to contend with. right now none of that. upper 60s to 70 degrees.

long as it's in charge, plenty of sunshine and southeast flow will bring us warmer temperatures everyday so we'll be looking at low 80s as we head through today. by tomorrow we'll see low to mid-80s. thursday continuing with the fine weather through thursday afternoon and then on friday we still manage out to low 80s. so this is the week you pick to vacation, fantastic stuff. could not have picked a better week. however, watch the weekend. i put 30 and 30 as far as the chances of showers on saturday and sunday. i don't think it will rain both days, we just have to work out the timing. we could potentially get this late saturday or even better into sunday so that we clear out on saturday. by the way saturday night, we are going to continue to see our clocks moving forward. so that is going to give us an extra hour of daylight on sunday. the sunset would be about 7:35 so we'll watch that closely for you. again it's this system across texas, continuing to monitor this for potential of damaging winds but eventually it will

time we get to saturday/sunday. this time of year of course so far this year we've gotten the nasty storms but by the time the system gets here just showers and again that would be saturday or sunday. we'll keep you posted. later on we'll check on the beach forecast. i think a lot of folks are going to be out today. legendary rock band ac/dc says its front man brian johnson is at risk of going deaf. the web site said doctors told him to stop touring immediately or he could completely lose his hearing. bands say they will probably use a guest vocalist at their shows. known for pushing the volume up as far as it can go. 9 to 5 >> country singer dolly parton is announcing her first major north american tour in 25 years. it will celebrate "daniel," release of a two-disc set coming out this summer.
