.. A Dry Stable Weather Pattern Over the Next Seven Days ..
.. Several Dry Cold Frontal Passages Expected ..
On the Weather Map…
On the surface map… surface high pressure is to our distant east of the east coast over the Atlantic Ocean. A cold front extends from south of Hudson Bay through the Great Lakes into northern Missouri into northern Kansas and northwest into Montana. A trough, or line, of surface low pressure extends southwestward from Kansas into west Texas. As a result of this surface weather pattern, our surface winds across south central Texas are light southerly.
On the upper air map… a upper level low pressure trough extending southward from Hudson Bay over the eastern half of the USA. An upper air high pressure has settled more westward off the west coast of Baja Peninsula over the eastern Pacific Ocean basin. As a result of this upper air weather pattern, the 30,000 foot winds over our area are north northwesterly 50 to 60 mph.
What I am Seeing As I Look Ahead…
A return south southeasterly wind will continue today before the cold front to our distant north rapidly moves into our area this evening. Warmer temperatures today will then turn back cooler tonight into tomorrow before a warmer trend sets in for late week into Saturday.
Another weak cold front is expected to pass southward over the area on Saturday with temperatures cooling a few degrees by late in the weekend into early next week.
With a stable and relatively dry weather pattern in place, I do not anticipate and precipitation over south central Texas over the next seven days.
Have a good Tuesday….
