The final day of September is expected to bring cloudy skies and scattered sprinkles, while the first ten days of October will be characterized by above-average temperatures and a lack of precipitation in the forecast.
Patience is indeed a virtue, as we have been experiencing above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation throughout the last week of September, a trend that will persist for at least the first third of October.
This morning, we are waking up to a mostly cloudy sky, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s. The cloud cover is providing insulation for our air at the surface. Additionally, I am observing a few light showers on radar, although most of these are not reaching the ground. These clouds will clear out from west to east throughout the day, with afternoon highs reaching the upper 80s once again. The average high temperature has now decreased to 84 degrees, and we can expect it to dip to 72 degrees by the end of October.
A mid-level ridge of high pressure will begin to build across the state this week and into the weekend, as well as the first part of next week. This will maintain temperatures well above average, keep precipitation at bay, and ensure an abundance of sunshine. Afternoon highs will be slightly above 90 degrees from tomorrow through Friday, nearing 90 degrees over the weekend and into early next week.
A weak cold front will approach our area late Monday and Tuesday, resulting in a slight drop in temperatures. However, we will have to wait for the second, stronger front to arrive the following weekend, which will bring noticeably cooler air and the chance of precipitation back to the forecast. Unfortunately, we will have to wait almost two weeks for that front to arrive.
That concludes my weather update for this Tuesday morning. I would like to extend my gratitude to Bruce Bochy for his outstanding tenure with the Texas Rangers. We all wish him and his family the best of luck, and I am confident that he will enjoy the weather whenever possible, as it is the only weather he's got!
