Cool Weather Around The Corner

Sunday turned out to be the hottest day since the third week of August, the last time it hit 100° at the DFW Airport:

Ever since the record year of 2011 the number of 100° day or hotter has lessened by the year. We are still less than last year with one more very hot day to go:

That very hot day ahead would be Labor Day. The forecast is for 99° so obviously it is possible we hit triple digits in many places around the Metroplex. The heat index will be over 100° most of the afternoon. Just like Saturday and Sunday a few pop-up storms are possible in the afternoon:

What is ahead of us is a significant change in the summer weather pattern. Just compare Sunday's high with the forecasted high for NEXT Sunday:

How do we get there? A couple of cold fronts. The first one will arrive on Tuesday night. A few pop up storms are possible on Tuesday afternoon but likely not enough activity to keep DFW from getting into the mid-90's:

With the front coming in we have decent chances of storms on Tuesday night and rain on Wednesday morning. Highs will likely stay in the upper 80's:

Less of rain chance on Thursday, even less on Friday but as we head into the weekend some cold air will be arriving on the second cold front of the week:

The best rain chances look to be on Wednesday. We've only had three day where measurable rain fell at DFW since July 1st. Rain chances are welcomed:

By next weekend it'll feel a little more like Fall around north Texas:
