FORECAST

Happy Friday!

Yesterday brought a few evening pop-ups — a pleasant change. Today calls for a similar situation. While most of us won’t see anything, we can’t rule out a few late afternoon pop-ups, mainly after 3 p.m.

Otherwise, it’ll be hot and humid again. Temperatures are forecast to reach the upper-90s, while heat index values top out near 105°. Plan for lots of heat if you have Friday evening plans, including football games!

This weekend, temperatures come down a degree or two. However, it’ll still be plenty hot as fall officially kicks off on Sunday with mid-90s in the forecast.

Next week, the first full week of fall, brings a pattern change.

A weak front will attempt to make a run for Central Texas on Monday. Then by midweek, as our high starts to break down, we could see enough lift to generate an isolated shower or two as highs trend down to the low 90s.

Meanwhile, a tropical disturbance is still looking possible in the Caribbean and southern Gulf of Mexico by midweek. Where exactly any system would develop is still very much a question. Additionally, should something develop, its path is also in question.

Unfortunately, it’s still far too early to tell. For now, it’ll be a waiting game.

We’ll keep you posted! Until then — have a great weekend and stay cool!
