The latest computer models suggest that the remants of Tropical Depression Imelda could move up to our region and provide the area with some beneficial rainfall on Friday this week. Our current thinking aligns with the North American computer model which pushes the rainfall into our area during the afternoon hours on Friday. This will likely increase as you head west towards the Texarkana metro area, with that area possibly seeing in the neighborhood of between 2-4 inches of rainfall. The Columbia county area could possibly see anywhere between an inch of rain to three inches of rain, with the amounts diminishing quickly as you head off to the east into central and eastern Arkansas.
These rainfall totals will also knock down temperatures into the low to middle 80s for highs on Friday and overnight lows dropping into the lower to middle 70s and potentially some upper 60s for some. As of right now, the NWS has yet to offer a Flash Flood Watch for our area, and we do not at this time anticipate them to issue that type of watch. East Texas could see that watch issued with anywhere from 4-6 inches expected in the Longview area, and 3-4 inches expected for Mount Pleasent. Just a reminder that these forecasts are not concrete at this time and could likely change through the next day or so. Stay tuned, and I will continue to monitor the forecast and post any updates to this forecast as we move closer to Friday. Below, I've included a graphic which tells you which day this week has the best chance for rainfall. The chances really improve towards Friday, and taper off as we head towards our second home game vs. Harding (Saturday night). ​PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO SPREAD THE WORD! **Graphic below are in percentages, not temperatures.
