Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited....
* The ridge continues to sit over Texas and the south central parts of the country which is keeping the current weather pattern very hot and dry. Expect sunny to mostly sunny conditions the next two days with highs in the lower 100s and still very warm and uncomfortable at night with lows in the middle 70s.
* We will see a pattern chance toward the weekend. The high pressure should slowly shift westward by Friday which will take the edge off some of the heat by the weekend. Temperatures will drop back into the lower 90s over the weekend with overnight lows in the lower 70s. As the ridge slips westward, the clockwise flow around the high will bring a northerly to northwesterly flow across the area. This pattern should help bring a weak cold front into the area toward the weeekend.
* Rain: A northerly to northwesterly flow in summer is usually our best chance some rain chances. Complexes of storms will develop over the high plains and drift south and southeastward down toward northern Texas. We'll watch for this activity toward next week. Otherwise, a moisture axis that is to our east will shift westward with the high shifting west and with that axis over Texas, storms will develop in the afternoons. I've added 20% chances for Saturday - Tuesday.
