We have our Max live radar on because we may
need it later on today.
Good.
Wednesday morning, friends limits after 5:00, it's all quiet.
close by on the radar, but off to our N
around the Dallas Woolworth area.
They're getting soaked.
Yeah, some noisy thunderstorms up that way, prompting flash flood
warnings.
And now we're looking to live up there in Dallas,
and you can see the skies have really opened up
and every once in a while you'll see some flashes
of lightning.
And they've seen quite a bit of rain up there
in the last 24 hours, especially just north of Dallas
where radar estimates or getting up there to two 3-4
inches of rain.
Another complex of storms fired up along that stalled front
now is moving away from that boundary will fizzle out.
But we'll send a pocket of rain cooled air our
way so that dash lines what we call an outflow
boundary.
And that may come into play later on.
We may pick up a northerly wind briefly.
And it also could kick off some showers and storms
for us as we get closer to late morning, early
afternoon.
That'll be the prime time right now.
Rain cooled 68 in Dallas.
Love 60s around here.
Instead we're hanging out in the upper 70s, low 80s.
Eighty in Burnett and 79 in Blanco.
Good morning, Bastrop, you're at 82.
Also in the low 80s in Lockhart in San Marcos.
You know, with all that moisture in place, it feels
a lot warmer than that, right?
Feels like number of 89.
And the sun's not even up just yet.
At least we still got that nice breeze.
The dew point of 76, so that says on the
muggy meter, it is feeling miserable outside, very sauna like
and nothing new on the allergy slide.
Mold and grass both in the modern category.
So moisture levels running really high for the rest of
the week, slowly dropping as we go into the weekend.
Everybody keeps asking me why has it been so, so
steamy in the last couple of weeks?
Well, first of all, we've had a lot of rain,
so that put a lot of moisture in the air
and also on the ground.
And then the water temperatures in the Gulf are very
August, like they're in the mid to upper 80s already.
So with that persistent southerly wind is pumping in that
moisture, making it feel even hotter around here right now.
We'll go from the 70s and 80s this morning to
upper 80s at lunch.
And then afternoon highs won't be out of control like
the last couple of days.
With that outflow boundary coming on through and the possibility
of some roaming thunderstorms, believe it or not, we'll have
highs in low to mid 90s.
That's pretty very close to where we should be for
this time of year.
80s and not feeling too bad this evening, especially with
that breeze.
And then 70s tomorrow morning.
We're finally going to drop below 80 at night and
then we're back into the 90s tomorrow.
Yesterday we had some nasty heated disease, 110 to 115.
It won't be as bad today, but still feel like
triple digits all over the place.
Enjoy that wind shift with that outflow boundary coming on
through.
We'll have a northerly wind later on and then an
easterly wind tonight and tomorrow, and that will take the
edge off the heat a little bit.
So the original complex of storms won't get here, but
that outflow boundary could refire some more storms that could
arrive let's say between 10:00 this morning and two in
the afternoon.
That'll be the prime time and then start to settle
down on the radar late in the day.
And with less clouds overnight and a northerly wind that
should allow temperatures to cool off into the 70s.
That's going to feel really good tomorrow morning.
And then back to the dry skies tomorrow afternoon.
Three out of four models show some measurable rain with
this setup today.
I think on average, some spots could pick up a
quarter to half an inch.
We are in the shade of green on the severe
weather outlook.
So check out the legend.
That's a level one out of five severe weather risk,
just a marginal risk, The threat of hail, wind, tornadoes,
very low.
We'll have some brief gusty winds that won't do any
wind damage and then also quite a bit of lightning.
Now that heat Dome will intensify this weekend to really
crank out the heat.
And then it's going to start to shift to the
West thanks to this huge low coming in from the
Great Lakes, forcing a weak front in here.
So next week, we'll bring temperatures down and increase those
rain chances.
But here in the next seven days, nothing like the
last several weeks where we picked up inches of rain,
we'll be lucky to get a quarter to half an
inch.
That's from the National Weather ServiceNow.
The long rain forecast model, especially European weather model, shows
just under an inch.
So we're going to slide into a more Rainier weather
pattern.
It looks like next week, a pretty good chance we're
going to be wetter than average.
But two weeks out, we're still going to be warmer
than average.
Summer is here and it's here to stay.
86 at noon.
Some minor heat relief today with that outflow boundary coming
on through, bringing in some rain, cooled air and possibly
some of those storms.
But the chances are low at 20%.
And then tonight, mainly clear and not as warm or
muggy, a low of 75.
And then we'll go back to mostly sunny skies and
plenty of heat to wrap up the week and go
into the weekend.
And then we'll be on the lookout for that front
to bring the temperatures down and increase those rain chances
next Monday and Tuesday.
