Here comes the early summer heat and humidity

We finally got a break from the stormy weather, and the storm-free conditions will continue for the next few days… But as we say goodbye to the rain, we flip the switch and say hello to the early summer-like weather here in Central Texas. Overnight some clouds may work their way back into our area and temperatures waking up Saturday morning will be down around the mid 60s. For the afternoon, get ready for lots of sunshine! Highs for Saturday will be in the upper 80s to low 90s… But with all the humidity in the air, our feels-like temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s. There’s not a whole lot of change in the forecast for Sunday. The morning will be a little warmer into the upper 60s to low 70s with a few clouds around. Another sunny day can be expected on Sunday with a breeze out of the southeast. Highs will once again be in the upper 80s to low 90s with feels-like temperatures around the mid 90s and maybe some upper 90s too! Get outside and enjoy the quiet and sunny weather that’s in store this weekend, but it is going to be hot and steamy out there! As a friendly reminder, make sure you are staying hydrated and find some shade when you can!

Unfortunately, this warmer than normal weather pattern is here to stay and the humidity is too. This warmer weather is being brought to Central Texas thanks to an area of high-pressure… And because of that high, our temperatures won’t be changing much over the coming days. Every morning through next week and into Memorial Day Weekend will start out in the low to mid 70s. As far as high temperatures go during that time, highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s Monday and possibly into the low to mid 90s by Tuesday. Feels-like temperatures will likely be in the mid to upper 90s Monday and upper 90s to low 100s on Tuesday! There are some signs of our next shot at rain and storms moving in Wednesday and Thursday of next week. With more cloud cover around Wednesday, highs will drop down a few degrees, but will still be warmer than normal into the upper 80s to low 90s with feels-like temperatures around the mid 90s! Thursday looks to be the best day for rain and storms in Central Texas and there could be some severe weather mixed in too. Models are not in good agreement with the timing of the system and how much rain could fall in our area, but there’s the potential that we could see some heavy rainfall, maybe around half an inch to an inch and a half, but widespread flooding may not be an issue. It’s a bit too early for specifics on our next chance for showers and storms so we’ll continue to keep you updated! For now, enjoy the quiet and storm-free weather, but make sure you find those ways to stay cool!
