Weather Forecast Details
General Discussion:
Above-normal temperatures are forecast again Friday with highs in the widespread 80s under ample sunshine. This warmer trend will continue through the upcoming weekend before a cold front attempts to move into the northern portions of the state on Monday. Model guidance has come into slightly better agreement regarding how this will impact temperatures early next week, with 70s currently forecast for North Texas Monday afternoon while the rest of the state remains in the 80s.
Warm and humid conditions are anticipated Tuesday before a pattern change eventually returns to the forecast by the middle of next week. A few upper-level disturbances approaching the ERCOT Region should help to produce daily rain and thunderstorm chances across at least parts of Texas, with additional rounds of rain possibly lingering into the following weekend. The highest precipitation totals are currently favored to fall across Far North and Northeast Texas as temperatures generally remain above normal throughout this time period.
Today:
Sunny to mostly sunny skies. More cloud cover across Far South Texas. Highs in the 80s. Elevated fire danger concerns continue across South Central Texas and near the Rio Grande.
This Weekend:
For Saturday, expect patchy morning fog across parts of the South Central, Southern, and Coastal zones, then mostly sunny to sunny skies. Lows in the 50s and 60s followed by highs in the 80s.
For Sunday, expect patchy morning fog and low-level cloud cover across parts of the South Central, Southern, and Coastal zones, then mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Lows in the 50s and 60s followed by highs in the 80s.
