Wednesday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Summer took a while to get here, but hot weather has continued across the Lone Star State for the last couple weeks however it should only dominate for one more day. If you enjoy getting out to the pool you might want to take advantage of today. We will see plenty of sunshine with temperatures hitting the mid to upper 90's.

By tonight we should begin to see a change in our pattern as more moisture will help to return the clouds back to West Central Texas. By tomorrow we should see partly to mostly cloudy skies around the area with the rain beginning towards the later part of the day. This change is all because of Tropical Depression 5 that is currently 365 miles east/southeast of Brownsville with winds of 30 mph. It is on a track towards the Northwest around 10 mph. The coast line is already under a tropical storm watch as this disturbance should from into a tropical storm before landfall if we can increase the winds to above 39 mph. This storm will continue to make an impact in our weather through the early part of the weekend. I think the best rain chances right now will be from Thursday evening through Saturday. Winds should not be a problem as the disturbance will weaken once it hits landfall but tropical systems bring lots of rainfall which could cause the potential for flooding. With the rain and cloud cover high temperatures through the weekend will stay in the upper 80's to low 90's. We will be keeping a close eye on the system and keep you updated with the latest.

On top of Tropical Depression 5, we have Tropical Storm Dean which is currently far out in the Atlantic. We will be keeping an eye on the track of this system as it has the potential for US landfall.

Have a good day!
