Lil’ baby pop-up showers remain possible!
It ain’t much, but it’s something! That’s the weather forecast for the rest of the week, y’all. Although our eyes are still peeled on the possibility of scattered rain and a likely small temperature drop next week, there’s enough of a weakness in the atmosphere for the rest of the work week for the toasty temperatures to spark a few showers!
Yes, it’s hot. Yes, I complain about the heat a bunch. I’m sure you wish it was a little bit cooler, but today’s temperatures aren’t terribly far above normal for this time of year. We should be in the mid-to-upper 60s in the morning and it’s the morning temperatures that are farthest from average, but afternoon highs in the low-to-mid 90s are still close to the 91° average high. We’re kicking off the day Tuesday with upper 60s and lower 70s. Despite starting out a touch cooler than yesterday, afternoon highs will be a touch hotter than Monday in the low-to-mid 90s. There’s still a chance for a stray pop-up late-day shower, mainly after 3 PM, but coverage of the rain should be lower than yesterday. The most likely rainfall locations will be near and especially east of I-35.
Rain chances will come back up to near 20% tomorrow and yet again, it’ll be cities and towns near and east of I-35 with the highest rain chance. Tomorrow may be just a touch warmer than today, but not by terribly much as we again warm into the low-to-near mid-90s. Wednesday may be the hottest day of the next ten! High pressure will inch away from Central Texas late this week and should help to very gradually cool us off. Despite the cooling temperatures, we’re still expecting a low late-day rain chance Thursday and Friday which should go away Saturday.
Our attention turns to a potential storm system moving through (and maybe slowly through) the country! High pressure is expected to build across the western United States which should drop the jet stream into the Plains and eastern U.S. Forecast model data is trending toward a weaker ridge of high pressure, so the drop in the jet stream may either not be quite as deep into the country or not impact our weather for terribly long. All you need to know right now is that rain chances start to rise early next week, especially on Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures continuing to drop slowly. As of now, highs next week are expected to remain in the upper 80s and lower 90s, but a slower-moving storm system would mean at least one day with cooler temperatures than that and potentially some higher rain chances too.
