El Nino keeps a jetstream over the south and that is an active pattern. Clouds, moisture, and low pressure areas will continue to PARADE across the south. Timing of the rain chances are difficult with the speed that some of these disturbances move. You will see a changing forecast each day.
A low will move across the area on Friday and bring a 20% chance for light rain or isol'd showers. It will be cooler than the past two...
