« It feels like fall & rainfall totals | Main | A Tale of Two Cold Fronts... »

Good evening! Tonight was such a nice evening! I hope you got to get out and enjoy it. We had a NBC Action News field trip... we got a bunch of people to go down to the Plaza for the Art Fair! Hello to everyone we met... what a fun time! :)

As for the forecast... tomorrow we're going to be sandwiched by two weather features. The first is the remnants of Rita. We have seen the clouds from Rita today... and will continue to see her clouds on Sunday. Some of our eastern counties may see a few showers or a thunderstorm... but for the immediate Metro, it looks like Rita won't bring us rain.

The other feature is an approaching cold front. It won't reach us until the evening hours, so it looks like another WARM and HUMID day. This particular feature COULD bring us rain... about a 30% chance right now. There is subsidance on the northwestern side of Rita... so this might inhibit thunderstorm development a bit! Here is the NAM's forecast map of tomorrow's scenario:

On the backside of the cold front... cooler, drier air will be working in for the start of the work week. Monday, we'll see highs in the lower 70s... and Tuesday looks awesome with lots of sunshine and highs in the upper 70s.

Then ANOTHER cold front works it's way towards us late Wednesday. This one is stronger, and will drop temperatures significantly for the second half of the week. We'll have lows in the 40s both Thursday and Friday! Take a look at the cooler air forecasted to rush in:

Have a super Sunday!
