Cold Front: Double Edged Sword

We have been waiting and waiting for a cool down, but more importantly, relief from the humidity. Our next cold front is still running as planned, scheduled for Saturday morning.

As of this afternoon, air that resembles early Autumn unfolds over the northern Rockies.

Not only can you decipher the stark contrast between the air masses with the actual temperatures, but note the color illustration on the map. Oranges and yellows will eventually will be painted across Texas, but still one more day of heat.

 

By Friday morning, the front remains to our northwest. Temperatures are expected to climb between 98° to 103° during the afternoon. Ahead of this front will be storms that line up ahead of this boundary. However, the front will slide by our area early Saturday morning. Therefore, any storms that fire up on Friday, will likely collapse before they get here. We miss out on the rain.....but we do not miss out on heat suppressant.

 

 

Not only will it be much cooler, but humidity will be down and the wind will kick up early Saturday morning during tailgating for the A&M game. Since the air will be so dry and the wind will gust between 20-25mph, a wildfire could ignite rather quickly. Make sure to be mindful of that as you tailgate. Keep on eye on your BBQ and quench any burning coals or fires before you enter the Kyle Field gates.

 

Nonetheless, just one more day, and then we can turn off the A/C at home....at least for a little while.
