Above Average Temperatures Continue
We finally saw a few showers dot the radar this afternoon. Unfortunately, these showers were short lived and very isolated across our western counties, and certainly didn’t have any impact on the moderate to severe drought conditions across the river region. Temperatures were held in check a little today thanks to a bit more cloud cover and also a “backdoor” cold pool that moved in from the east. We topped out in the low to mid 80s as opposed to the upper 80s to 90 in Montgomery that we experienced yesterday.
Temperatures tonight will primarily be in the 70s through midnight, and I think that the chance for showers has passed for this evening. Overnight lows will be around 60 tonight, some locations may drop into the upper 50s. For tomorrow, we may see a few more showers, but for the most part skies will be partly cloudy. Temperatures will again top out in the mid 80s. We start off the workweek on a warming trend, with skies becoming mostly clear for Monday through Wednesday. Temps top out in the upper 80s on Monday, and then for Tuesday and Wednesday it looks like afternoon highs will be near 90.
A change to the pattern may come our way Thursday, with at least a chance for rain ahead of an approaching cold front.
The cold front will make it through the river region on Friday, which will cool us down to much more seasonable weather. High temps next Saturday and Sunday may only be in the mid 70s.
