Humidity Going Up, Windy Weekend Ahead

The weather pattern continues with below normal temperatures today, but southeast winds over the past 24 hours have increased the humidity and this can be felt today.  Temperatures will warm a little above yesterday's levels, but the humidity will make it feel noticeably warmer.  Here's how our in house computer model paints the forecast high temperatures today.  I think it's pretty good call, just a degree shy of our official forecast high of 93 degrees.

While today remains quiet, our storm team will be watching two areas for storm potential.  The first and more significant feature will be the upper level low tracking from the desert southwest into Oklahoma.  This will trigger showers and storms mainly for northwestern portions of North Texas Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  The other feature will be the moist southeast flow from the Gulf of Mexico.  This will trigger spotty activity Friday and Saturday for southeastern portions of North Texas.

Friday's forecast below will feature hot, windy and humid conditions with dry hours for the Metroplex but afternoon into evening storms for areas north and west.  Areas east and southeast will see morning clouds with spot showers and isolated storms with the afternoon heat as the cloud deck separates.  Winds will be fairly strong from the south/southeast at 15-25 mph with stronger gusts.

Saturday's forecast below looks much the same as Friday's, however afternoon storm chances push into the western half of the Metroplex.  Again, southeastern areas deal with spotty light morning rain with clouds that break up during the day with isolated storms possible in the afternoon.  Again, south/southeast winds will run 15-25 mph with stronger gusts.

Sunday will see the southeast flow shutting down and the upper level low shifting farther north with a lingering heat-of-the-day storm chance north and northwest of the Metroplex.  The winds will not be as strong from the south, however still expect a breezy day.
