The showers will continue during the overnight hours when you are asleep. Cannot rule out a few thunderstorms still in our area around midnight.

The rain will continue to move east through the early morning hours.

THURSDAY 12

THURSDAY 6 am

The light blues and light reds indicate drier air from the north moving into our area after the front passes. This means dew points will drop rapidly after the front passes. Dew points will drop below 40° after 6:00 AM tomorrow.

THURSDAY 12 PM

Temperatures will also take a tumble around our area. Winds will shift from out of the south to out of the north filtering in the cooler air.

There will scattered clouds around the area for the rest of the day.

Friday – Much Cooler! Waking Up: 31° High: 44°

December, is that you?

Seasonal temperatures return once the cooler, drier airmass has settles into our area. The clouds will stick around on Friday with winds out of the west at 5 to 15 mph. It will be breezy at times mainly around lunchtime/early afternoon. A noticeable surface pressure gradient will move over the area ahead of a surface high moving over east Texas. Winds will calm down late in the afternoon.

No rain in the forecast for Friday, but you will feel the cooler air once the weekend arrives.

Extended: High pressure will settle over us for the weekend, but don’t get too comfortable. Another surface low is on the way with rain chances increasing on Monday. We will keep you updated on this next system.
