The tropical wave, Invest 90 L is likely going to upgraded to tropical depression status Monday. The system has strengthened significantly late Sunday, and now has an easily identified center of circulation. This system is still more than a week away from being something to seriously worry about, but none the less, still certainly worth watching.

Computer models suggest that Invest 90 L will strengthen as it heads due west over the next several days. After that--- who knows? The GFS has trended furthur south; to a landfall in southern Texas, but these models are wildly inaccurate for storms 10+ days away.
Rain anybody?
Some badly needed rain is in the forecast for later this week. Meanwhile, a couple of isolated storms are possible Monday, as a weak cold front approaches the area. Nothing severe is anticipated nor is any significant rainfall expected.
Later this week, a more vigorous cold front will give us our first taste of the fall. More importantly however, it will enable a number of systems to ride up along the boundary left by the front during the Friday-Sunday time frame and potentially give us some much needed rain.

Cooler temperatures and yes, maybe some rain (!), are in store for late this week.
