00:00 Well, things are going to take a

00:01 little bit of a wet turn as we

00:03 head into the middle of the week.

00:05 This is going to be late

00:07 Tuesday into early Thursday.

00:08 We do have a storm developing here in

00:10 the Gulf and that's going to hug the Gulf

00:12 Coast, but here we're going to have

00:14 the heaviest rain stemming right

00:15 along that I-10 corridor.

00:16 But of course we could still see a few

00:18 showers through moving through the Lone

00:20 Star State up through Louisiana,

00:22 Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,

00:22 and even up through South Carolina.

00:24 But hey,

00:25 the heaviest rain is going to

00:26 be right where we need it.

00:28 That is going to be bringing

00:29 drought relief for some.

00:30 But it is the start of a stormier pattern.

00:32 I kind of want to show you how

00:34 this is going to play out as we

00:36 take this throughout the rest of today.

00:38 Overall,

00:39 things are going to be remaining

00:40 relatively quiet and dry for

00:42 the start of the new year.

00:43 Meanwhile,

00:44 like I said,

00:44 that next storm is going to be

00:46 making its way on through,

00:48 bringing with it more in the way of rain,

00:50 packing a little bit more of a punch.

00:52 And well, hey,

00:53 we certainly do need it as we are

00:55 still experiencing exceptional drought

00:56 across extreme eastern Texas up

00:57 through Louisiana into Mississippi.

00:58 We're seeing those dark dark Browns,

01:00 but even still across a lot of the region,

01:02 you're seeing Browns,

01:03 so we're experiencing some type of drought.

01:05 So hey, we could really use the rain.

01:07 Will welcome it in for the new year,

01:09 though it is again the start

01:10 of a stormier pattern.

01:11 This is going to kind of be the flavor

01:14 of things as we head into early to mid

01:16 January, numerous storms possible.

01:17 With snow possible a little bit

01:19 further north where of course we're

01:21 going to have that cooler air.
