Weather Update for Monday, August 13th
HOT WEATHER CONTINUES, BUT SEVERAL RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEK…
After big storms last evening, many remain in the cleanup process across Denton, Wise, Tarrant and Johnson County. But like rain events we have seen the past month, there were a lot of people that missed out on the storms and the much needed rain. However, there will be off and on rain chances in the forecast for the next 7 days.
HOT TODAY! Temperatures have climbed into the low 100s as the air has dried out behind our "cold front" from last night. Dry air can heat up faster than humid air, thus the heat today.
TONIGHT will be somewhat cool as drier also cools off faster than humid air. So by daybreak tomorrow morning temperatures will be in the 60s and low 70s! But just like today it will heat up quickly tomorrow.
TOMORROW… highs will be in the 100 degree range again tomorrow. But a few strong to severe storms will be possible tomorrow evening into tomorrow night. Just like last night, downburst winds will be the biggest threat although hail will also be a concern. Storm coverage won't be high and will favor areas along the Red River. But storm chances will also continue into Wednesday morning and Wednesday afternoon./
WEDNESDAY… storm chances will be with us thru the day but coverage will not be terribly high. Temperatures will be in the upper 90s.
THURSDAY… this will be a dry and warm day with highs near 100.
COOLER WEATHER COMING FOR THE WEEKEND!!!
FRIDAY will be the last hot day as we head into the weekend. Temperatures will climb into the upper 90s, but a cold front will arrive late in the day. This front will bring us some storm chances Friday night into Saturday. The front looks to stall over the area on Saturday which will bring us cloud cover and what looks like decent rain coverage. Some models are advertising highs staying in the 80s on Saturday with off and on storms and cloudy weather all day. I will go with a high of 91 because if we do see any sunshine temperatures will pop into the 90s. Lingering rain chances will continue into Sunday, but temperatures will be just below normal in the mid to low 90s. Average high for this time of year is 97!
