Since Saturday the weather has continued to improve in south central.  We should get one more day of some nice weather before the clouds begin to move into the region.  We will see a frontal boundry approaching the region on Thursday bringing with it clouds and some wet weather through the weekend.  Out west the rain will continue though it should taper off to showers throughout the week.  Into the Interior the afternoon and evening hit and miss showers and thunderstorms will continue much of the week.  Down in the southeast the rain there will begin to taper off to showers tomorrow and some drier weather should head your way later this week.
