Last Friday of Summer

Good Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

It was a wonderful day yesterday with temperatures reaching the upper 80’s but with plenty of fair weather clouds we saw a shady breaks from the sunshine. Overnight has stayed calm with lows in the upper 60’s to 70’s.

Today the upper level high pressure ridge will continue to bring quiet weather to the Big Country and should last through the weekend. With high pressure we see sinking air which brings less cloud cover and warm temperatures as the air sinks, compresses and warms. Today’s highs will hit just around the low 90’s and stay there through the weekend. Our weekend will consist of mostly sunny skies light winds and above average temperatures. We officially kick off fall on Sunday morning but the afternoon temperatures may not make it feel that October is just around the corner.

Next week we should see our next front make it though the area which will drop highs back to the mid 80’s. Right now rain chances look slim with a better chance north of our area.

The Low pressure system around 100 miles off the coast of the Florida peninsula will continue to move through the warm gulf waters with strengthening likely. The best chance of landfall will be somewhere between Mobile Bay, Alabama to Beaumont, Texas. This system will bring more rain to the gulf coast and could be a named storm by later today.

Have a great weekend!
