Weather Makes A U-Turn

We have been pointing at several really hot days coming up during the weekend, but sometimes the weather likes to take a U-Turn.

High pressure to our west in the upper levels of the atmosphere has been acting like a force field, blocking any storms trying to move into the Brazos Valley, and deflecting them away. Now this feature will begin to slightly break and it appears that some wet weather is coming back into view, in turn, keeping the scorching heat away.

In the meantime, a surface front, basically stationary, remains to our north. Disturbances and storms tend to ride along this path and drench cities in its path.


As high pressure begins to break this weekend, disturbances will have the ability to move closer to the Brazos Valley. In other words, keep the wet weather gear handy.

The following image is a print out of the NAM computer model, simulating the weather for Saturday afternoon.

 
Notice the green shades over southeast Texas. This is an area that has a good potential to experience several showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon. Additionally, a few light showers may linger into Sunday. Not only will this weekend weather feature keep the temperature well below 100°, but more importantly, help to green our lawns.

I will keep you in the loop in case there are any changes in the forecast. Make sure to join KAGS-HD at 6pm & 10pm for the latest on your forecast.
