Last FIVE days of Summer. Waiting on changes for FALL...
Want change? You have to wait for it. Today is just another hot day in the 90s. Not too humid. Just hot. Without any "triggers" to pop storms, it looks as if afternoon heating will pop more clouds, and at least a couple will turn into quick showers from 2-8 pm. Coverage pretty low. With light winds, pollution issues will again be present during that time period as well. Oh yeah. Same for tomorrow. 😀
The first of two atmospheric changes the next several days starts to develop tomorrow night. As a weak front and disturbance drop towards us from Oklahoma...some storms will develop to our NW and move into northern areas. Nothing severe, ATM...maybe some briefly gusty winds and small hail in strongest. Those may linger into Friday AM as well before moving off to the east. So Friday will have clouds before breaking for sun to help keep highs closer to 90.
Once this exits Friday, the front will hang out in Oklahoma this weekend leaving us with a south wind here in Texas. That likely means low 90s to round out the final two days of summer. The majority of us will be dry Saturday...although another disturbance will clip NW counties PM-eve hours with at least a chance for storms.
We'll then watch a stronger front work towards the area Sunday night into Monday. The timing on it still isn't set in stone but some stronger storms will be possible (gusty winds) along with higher coverage when it gets it's act together.
That sets us up for the arrival of FALL Monday. Once the showers exit, NW winds at the surface and aloft should dry us out and bring temps back into the 80s for a couple of days. The "average" highs to start fall are in the mid 80s and lows in the 60s. That would be pleasant!
Until then? A little more summer...
