The Season That Won't Go Away...Until Saturday.

North Texans playing outdoors today are actually laboring in one of the hottest Labor Days on record.  Not quite as hot as it was on Labor Day 2000, when the high temperature blasted to 111°, the hottest September day on record in DFW.  We'll have to get used to these triple digit temps for the rest of the week unfortunately.

We are watching a cold front in the middle of the country right now.  Now we're still waiting on a good push from a shift in the upper level winds before this front affects North Texas.  As Meteorologist Garry Seith reported this morning, this won't happen until the end of the week.

When the front finally does arrive, it will bring a decent shot at rain and thunderstorms in North Texas Friday night into Saturday morning.  Then MUCH COOLER air will arrive just in time for the weekend.

LOVING THE TEMPERATURE TREND FOR SEPTEMBER

As we approach the official last day of summer and first day of fall, we can start seeing pretty wild swings in our temperatures.  Cold fronts start making their way through North Texas in greater frequency this month, but the true, lasting cold fronts usually wait until October, making us grab for the long sleeves more often.  But the temperature trend line is down in September on average.

NICE TO HAVE THE ADDED RAINFALL IN AUGUST!

The numbers are in for August rainfall, and it was generally good news for us.  Of course, the month started extremely hot and dry, but after August 15, we turned a corner.  There were a few episodes of flash flooding, but in the end, most North Texans had a surplus of rainfall during what's typically the driest month of the whole year.
