Undergoing Some Changes..

We have received several emails and comments concerning the weather blog here on Blogspot so I felt the need to address the questions. As you know we are undergoing changes at CBS 42 and along with that our weather page/s at CBS42.com will also be changing.

As far as the blog goes, we are uncertain of its future role, but at CBS42.com you can access our blog articles. The only drawback to doing it this way is that we will lose the ability of our readers to leave comments. This is a temporary change so please bear with us as we continue to grow our web presence.

Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

God Bless,

Fourth of July

The Fourth of July holiday weekend is looking pretty good. We should see a handful of T-Showers Friday thru the weekend. Otherwise, temps are going to be normal and at times a bit cooler than normal.
If you're headed to the beach, expect a little better chance of showers and storms, but they will be scattered also. Temps should hang around 90 degrees on the coast and humidity levels will be high there as well. So, other than a few passing storms, it's not looking too bad for the weekend on the Gulf Coast. But, hey, you'll be at the beach...that's what counts!
