I know the calender still technically reads summer, but we're getting some sure signs of winter as more and more termination dust is being spotted in the mountains around south central.

I know the calender still technically reads summer, but we're getting some sure signs of winter as more and more termination dust is being spotted in the mountains around south central.  Weather throughout the region should begin to improve for the latter part of the week with a bit of sunshine heading our way by the weekend.  Into the southeast you are going to continue to see quite a bit of rain the next few days.  In the southwest you will see showers the next couple of days before things quiet down again.  Things should remain relatively quiet in the Interior.
