DFW airport measured a little over a 1/2 of an inch late last week and into Saturday. Some areas saw 3" to 5" of rain, especially west and south of the area.
High pressure at the surface will continue to give us a northerly wind today into tomorrow, ushering in the very dry air. This will keep our mornings cool and our afternoon's warm through Wednesday. Morning lows will mainly be in the fifties away from town, near 60 in the immediate DFW area.
By Wednesday and Thursday, a southerly wind will return warming us up into the upper eighties. Morning lows will still be comfortable, 50s and low 60s.
By Friday and especially Saturday and Sunday, most areas jump back up into the lower nineties. We can thank a breezy southwesterly wind for that. Good news is, the humidity levels will remain low.
Our next subtle weather change will arrive late Sunday, as a weak cold front passes through the area. I Can't rule out a few scattered showers and storms along the front, but due to the dry southwesterly wind on Saturday and Sunday, the return flow from the Gulf of Mexico will be very limited. Therefore, precipitation chances will be greatest into Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas.
Temperatures behind this front won't cool off that much for early next week but we will drop back into the eighties for highs.
Right now, I don't see any big cold fronts arriving across the area anytime soon. We'll have to wait for the 2nd half of October for that!
