MY SEVEN DAY WEATHER THOUGHTS
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …
As upper level high pressure, acting like a “lid” on the atmosphere, continues to
hold over the area, I expect the dry weather pattern to continue for most areas
through the seven day forecast period.
During this period, afternoon into evening temperatures combined with
atmospheric moisture will result with elevated to dangerous heat index and
wet bulb globe temperature values. Please remember to remain hydrated and to
“take it easy” if you’re outdoors in the afternoon and evening hours.
Let’s talk a moment about the tropical cyclone over the northeastern Gulf. For mid
into late week, the upper level high area pressure will continue to hold forth over
north Texas and will act to create a rather hostile atmospheric environment as
the tropical system is projected to weaken and move westward along or just
onshore of the Louisiana coast. NWS/National Hurricane Center guidance suggests
the system will weaken further and maybe even dissipate as it moves westward
into Texas and south of the IH10 corridor between Houston and San Antonio by
midday Saturday. With medium forecast confidence, we will likely see a slight
increase in cloud cover Friday into Saturday but, at this point, I do not expect any
precipitation locally with most precipitation along or south of the IH10 corridor.
I’ll continue to watch this carefully in case things do change. Stay tuned.
Once the dying tropical system passes to the south and southwest, the upper
level high pressure area will once again build overhead with a dry summer
weather pattern continuing into the weekend.
LOCAL FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD …
– A very high forecast confidence through Friday morning.
– A medium forecast confidence for Friday afternoon through Saturday night.
– A very high forecast confidence for Sunday through Monday.
