Two areas of dense fog have developed this morning….gulf coast area from Corpus to Beaumont….and out in the Midland/Odessa area. These areas of fog and low clouds should burn off quickly now that the sun has come up. For the upteenmillionth time…it’s going to be very warm again today, and we’ll likely meet or break additional high temp records here and there across the state.
Two cold fronts will affect the state this week. The first is forecasted to move through on Tuesday. The second one is forecasted to move through on Friday. Neither or very strong, nor very cold, but they will both help to knock temperatures down to more normal readings for at least a few days.
Keep reading below the graphic….it gets good….trust me…. :>)
Today’s forecasted highs
On the distant horizon…an arctic front is showing up on the long-range models that may affect the state around the 10th or thereabouts. And could it…..possibly…….maybe……bring…..SNOW????? The models I ran through this morning did indeed forecast SNOW for a huge part of the state on or around the 11-13th of next week. WAY too early to be very confident on any of this, but I wanted to mention it if for no other reason that keeping hopes raised for some actual winter-like weather versus this warm April-like weather we’ve had the past few days. Fingers crossed!!!
