Even HOTTER!
Our offical high at KCI has been 93 degrees for THREE days! And over the NEXT three days... expect even WARMER temperatures. Monday and Tuesday, we'll see highs in the middle 90s... and by Wednesday, we could be into the UPPER 90s!
Here is the NAM model forecast for Wednesday evening:

You are looking at the 850mb level... (1500 meters or 5000 feet up). LOOK AT ALL THE WARM AIR!! Our 850 temperature is in the mid to upper 20s (Celsius)... that is pretty high. With enough mixing, we could be into the upper 90s on Wednesday. We are expecting a cold front to arrive late Wednesday and into Thursday. The later it (and associated clouds or rain) gets here... the better our chance for upper 90s.
Once that front comes through, we should see a good 10 degree drop in temperature. Here is the AVN model forecast for Friday morning:

See the cooler air moving in? The arrows show the direction the wind is coming from... so you can also see the wind shift. On Wednesday, it's a SOUTHWEST wind... and on Friday, it's a NORTHERLY wind. Hopefully, we will also get some rain out of this front... we're drying out fast! No rain since June 13th!!
Have a great day!

**************
Have you developed a summer forecast yet? I have a dreaded feeling that it is going to be brutal.
RAY:
Hello there! This summer will defintely be hotter than last summer (which was cooler than average). BUT it doesn't look like a brutally hot summer... temps should be pretty close to average, as should rainfall. It is easy to think the worst when we're in the dry/hot PART of the pattern... but it won't last for the next three months!
Thanks for posting!
