Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...
* Quiet weather again this morning across the Big Country with temperatures in the lower 70s as I blog this in most areas. Expect a partly cloudy day as cloud cover from Hurricane Jimena off the Pacific coast of Mexico is streaming across most of Texas south of I-10 and should work up into the area later today. Otherwise, temperatures will be warmer today with highs in the middle 90s and overnight lows tonight only dipping down into the lower 70s.
* Northwesterly flow will help bring an upper level disturbance or two into the area starting tomorrow afternoon and into the early part of the weekend. A weak back door front will slip across North Texas and will also help be a focal point for showers and storms. The best chance looks to be Thursday night and into Friday. Still expecting to see clouds the next few days off of Jimena but don't expect us to see any moisture that could translate into the rain. The ridge set up between Texas and the southwestern states blocks what will remain of Jimena as it drifts into Arizona. Temperatures into the lower 90s the next couple of days and settling back into the upper 80s by the weekend. Then we'll see lows dip back into the 60s by the weekend.
* Labor Day Weekend: Looks like we could see an isolated shower or storm for the weekend but we should be dry by Labor Day on Monday. Highs in the upper 80s to near 90° with lows into the 60s over the weekend. Don't forget to check out the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon here on KRBC on Monday!
