A jacket or a hoodie is necessary this morning as temperatures have fallen into the upper 30s to mid-40s across the area. That's what a calm wind and a clear sky will do as a chilly surface high pressure settles directly overhead this morning.
This area of high pressure will continue to slide east through the day today and southerly winds will slowly return. If you're new to the area, a southerly wind is a warming wind any time of the year. Plenty of sunshine will be enjoyed today with afternoon highs warming into the low to mid 70s.
The south winds pick up tonight so we won't be as cool, but it'll still be nice for this time of the year. Readings will drop into the low to mid 50s.
Tomorrow will be a breezy day with southerly winds gusting to 30 mph. This will warm temperatures up into the low 80s. There will also be a high grass fire danger west of I-35W.

Low 80s will be popular Thursday and Friday as well. There will be a weak cold front coming into the area Thursday evening keeping the air dry, the mornings cool and the afternoons a bit above average. Average high this time of the year is 78°. Our average high will drop to 72° by Halloween.
The past couple of weekends have been rather cool, but this last weekend of the State Fair of Texas will be rather warm and breezy. Mostly cloudy on Saturday with highs in the upper 80s. Sunshine returns Sunday with readings jumping up into the low 90s. More cloud cover, humidity, and wind will keep temperatures in the mid to upper 80s on Monday, but it will be very muggy.
I'm sure you've noticed that not one time have I mentioned the word rain over the next seven days. Terrible news. However, some of the extended data I've been analyzing shows rain returning to the area by the middle of next week.
