So Close, But Yet So Far

During the summer, it's very tough for a cold front to move across central Texas. Main reason is due to a lack of cold air to our north, and two, if cold air tries to move in it all gets spread out before it can reach us here. When the Autumn months and the Winter rolls around, there will be gobs of cold air in Canada that will periodically swing though.

During the summer, it would be nice to have a front sweep away the humidity, but so far, not this summer. We have had several close calls, and another it at our door steps.

There it is, a cold front that is continuing to slow is southern progress. Several showers broke out this afternoon in Robertson and Leon counties ahead of this front, and that's all we should see from this boundary.

Despite the heat around Dallas and Ft. Worth, notice the drier push of air on the other side of this front.

 

Dew points in the 40s, this time of the year is a nice surprise. Yet, we remain on the southern side, where the air flows from the south, rather than the north.

By tomorrow morning, our latest front will be as close as reaching the northern extent of Leon County be for retreating back north.

Therefore, the Brazos Valley remains on the hot and muggy side. Additionally, along the front there will be several disturbances producing soaking rains around the Red River. We are too far south to be affected by that batch of rainfall.

Do not give up hope, because computer guidance suggests a stronger push of cold air over the northern half of the US that could send an additional front our way. Therefore, we should see some rainfall closer to the weekend and maybe a break from the humidity.
