A brief warm-up is expected through Friday, followed by another weather change arriving over the weekend and early next week, bringing cooler temperatures and increasing rain chances Sunday into Monday.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Our shortened work week continues, with temperatures rising through Friday. Currently, temperatures range from the upper 60s to low 70s across North Texas, with clear radar. Enjoy your dry commute to work and school. Partly cloudy conditions will prevail today, with highs in the low to mid-90s and light north winds.
Heat will build up tomorrow and Friday as a high-pressure bubble in the upper levels temporarily dominates our area. Temperatures will rise into the mid to upper 90s tomorrow and Friday, potentially reaching triple digits west of the Decatur-Weatherford-Granbury line. These areas have received less rainfall than areas east of them over the past few days.
A weather change will slowly evolve late Friday and early Saturday morning as another cold front moves into the area. Scattered showers and storms may develop along the front during this period. Temperatures will be cooler over the weekend and early next week, accompanied by extensive cloud cover. However, there will be breaks in the clouds on Saturday, with afternoon highs dropping to the mid-80s and north winds blowing at 5-15 mph.
A hurricane, Lorena, has formed in the Eastern Pacific overnight, located south of the Southern Baja Peninsula and approaching Cabo San Lucas. Lorena's moisture will rapidly spread north and then get caught up in the jet stream, moving east across Texas on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Widespread shower and thunderstorm activity will break out in the Panhandle and West Texas on Saturday. Lorena's moisture will continue to spread east on Sunday, bringing pockets of heavy rain across North Texas. Currently, severe weather is not expected, but some areas may receive a couple of inches of rain. Flood Watches may be issued.Temperatures will remain in the 70s throughout the day.
Next week will begin with lingering rain in the area, but the heaviest rain will shift to South and Southeast Texas. High temperatures will only reach the low 80s. Isolated showers and storms are possible on Tuesday, but most areas will remain dry, with highs in the mid-80s.
That concludes my weather report for this Wednesday morning. I hope everyone has a great day and please enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got.
