Unsettled is the Word for the Next Week Texas-Georgia

A large upper level low pressure system is spinning across the ArkLaTex and will likely continue to do so until late this week and possibly into the beginning of next. This keeps things very unsettled with waves of rain from northeast Texas to Georgia. Some of the waves will contain some heavy rainfall. The heaviest rainfall amounts will be over Arkansas, eastern Oklahoma, northeast Texas and northern Louisiana. Some locations in these areas could see an additional 2"-5" over the next 3-days.

Once this system decides to finally lift to the north and east late this week into early next, it will help to create an overall pattern change across the Eastern U.S. with a broad trough taking shape. This means a shot of true Autumn air will spread across much of the nation from the Plains to the Atlantic for the week of the 21^st. Exact timing of the cool air arriving is still a bit in question as exact timing of when the above mentioned low will lift northeastward is unknown.
