Nice Start To A Wet Week
SUPER SUNDAY
Today was a little breezy and certainly a chilly start (it dropped down to to 35 at DFW, 32° at Denton and Mineral Wells). But ample sunshine, low humidity (at 4pm at DFW the relative humidity was a mere 14%) and brisk SW winds warmed temperatures twice as much as a typical day. Usually you jump about 20° from morning low to afternoon high. That had happened by 10am. By 4PM the high hit 74°, an almost 40° jump. Still no rain has fallen in March.
ANOTHER NICE DAY TOMORROW
Monday is back to work but right back to near perfect Spring weather as well. Mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-70's with a breezy south wind. The air won't be as dry but still just an absolutely wonderful weather day in store for us.
BIG CHANGES AHEAD THIS WEEK
After 7 of the first 8 days of March having above normal temperatures we are going to have a shot of cold air arrive late Thursday. The transition will bring us the first rain of the month.
TUESDAY: Clouds come in on as the winds start to really pick up by late morning. A strong low pressure system to our north is going to push the winds to the 25-35mph range. Highs will still get into the 70's despite the cloud cover by end of day.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly Cloudy and 20% storm chance. Breezy with highs in the low 70's. Rain amounts look light at this time:
THURSDAY: 60% Storm Chance, Areas of heavy rains. Windy as a cold front moves through mid-day and drops the temperatures. Highs in the low 70's before the front arrives. Lows that morning in the low 60's. Rain totals look to be higher to the east and northeast of the metro area:
FRIDAY: Much Colder. Highs only in the low 50's with occasional light rain and breezy north winds. These are highs 20° colder than the start of the week:
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows start in the upper 30's, warm only to the mid-50's. 40% Rain chance.
Don't forget we "spring forward" the clocks next weekend! The change means the daylight lasts well after the end of the work day.
