Cool mornings and warm afternoons – a tell-tell sign of early Spring across Texas. Enjoy it before the ‘summer’ pattern of tropical moisture and oppressively high humidity arrives later in the year. Well, hopefully, later in the year. Given how quickly we’ve switched into spring, and after two summers of hell, I will admit I’m worried about our upcoming summer. Nevertheless, here we are. High temperatures this afternoon and Wednesday will peak in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s.

A weak cool front will bring slightly lower temperatures to Texas on Thursday and Friday. The real story with that will be strong wind gusts both days. Expect increased grass fire danger, some blowing dust, and your allergies to go haywire. Temperatures will warm back up into the 70s and 80s over the weekend.

No precipitation is expected in Texas over the next six days. That means a dry week and weekend ahead. Our only real chance for more than morning rounds of fog will be an isolated thunderstorm Monday night in Texoma and the Ark-La-Tex. Even that isn’t looking promising.

Above-average temperatures will continue across Texas and the United States east of the Continental Divide through early March. No big arctic crashy; the cold fronts are on our radar, though I hesitate to say we’re done until we get past Easter.
