Throwing out a little Shakespeare to get us in the mood for the forecast. As the above quote denotes, with a twist of the weather illustrates that a cold front that will move into the Brazos Valley will be the beginning to the end of the very warm air.....for now.
A south wind gusting to near 35 mph today not only brought in warmer air, but humid air as well. Dew points this afternoon reached the 60s. When you stepped outside, you could feel the extra moisture stirring around. However, if you are not a fan of this warm weather for January, a cold front will come to the rescue tomorrow, not only to cool us off a bit, but to slash the humidity in the air.
Due to the abundance of cloud cover overhead, we will stay very warm overnight and fairly muggy with continuous south winds. You could also say that it will feel like A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Just before midnight, the cold front will remain to our northwest:
Clouds remain in place, and as far as any precipitation, there is not enough instability for widespread rain or thunderstorms. Several light showers or sprinkles will pop up from time to time, but not much to write home about. Also, remember, we are ahead of the front and this is one reason why we will be warm overnight.
By noon Tuesday, the front approaches and begins to pass by the Brazos Valley:
Just after we spike temperatures into the low 70s Tuesday midday, the front will sweep though and open up the doors to cooler, drier air. Plus, any light showers we see will be pushed away, as well at the cloud cover. Overall, the high temperature will be met around noon and the wind will shift from the north, beginning the cooling process.
This body of cold air is not too impressive and will not last long across out region. Expect the coolest day to be Wednesday with highs near 60 degrees. Just like a blink of an eye, temperatures turn right back around in the upper 60s to low 70s closer to the weekend.
