Warm End To The Week, A Few Little Bumps

When you look at the average temperatures for this area in the middle of January we should hit the low 60s during the afternoon. Our official high today was 61, which is right on target. However, warm air spoiled up the past few days. Since we were used to well above average temperatures recently, today felt a bit chilly.

If you are not a fan with the "cold" air, Mother Nature will deliver in another warm package to us. Yup, temperatures the remainder of the week and into next week will be around the upper 60s and low to mid 70s.

The patter is a progressive one, but most of the weather will travel north of us.

Note where the jet stream is, well to the north of us and this will be the way the weather will hold for several days. You can look at the jet stream as a highway, or a path for disturbances. Areas of low pressure don't always take this roadway, but most of the time they do. Activity in terms of rain and snow will be away from the Lone Star State in the short term.

Additionally, the jet stream can be looked at as a boundary between cold air and warm air. Due to the position of this feature we are on the warm side of things.

However, there will be some dip in the jet stream from time to time by the weekend, adding in a slim chance of rain. With this set up, no large scale storms are expected at this time.

Fog will become an obstacle tomorrow morning, and will appear each morning right into the weekend. Thickest fog will likely occur Friday and Saturday mornings.

Overall, despite the lack in rainfall (which is what we need), enjoy the weather, because other locations across the lower 48 are FREEZING!
