Current Outlook(Tropical Outlook Below)
A weak and dissipating cool front remains stalled over central Texas while unseasonably warm and humid conditions persist over southeast Texas for another day or so before we see a big change in our weather. We will continue to have a few thundershowers through tomorrow before a cool front moves through the area. This morning’s surface weather map shows a stalled cool front over north central Texas, high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico and Arkansas and a cool front pushing south through the northern Rockies and Plains. The upper-level map shows an large upper-level low and trough over Illinois and Indiana with a upper-level high ridge over the Great Basin.
Looking ahead, the upper-level trough will gradually shift east while the upper-high builds into the Rockies. The cool front over north Texas will gradually dissipate while a rather robust push of cool air moves south into Texas from the Plains on Friday. This should set the stage for some near ideal early Fall weather this weekend in southeast Texas.
