Friday’s Weather Roundup – HOT

Good morning and Happy Friday! The word for today is HOT. Yesterday, we saw some temps above 100 in the western portions of the state. Today, those temps will return again and spread a bit further east towards the more central zones. Record heat is expected in those areas today and staying hydrated is a MUST, especially since our bodies have not yet had a chance to acclimate given the fact that we’ve been so cool so far this spring.
Currently, we’ve got a few showers that developed earlier this morning south of the Dallas area. They are not expected to become severe, but could contain some lightning. We’ve got a strong capping inversion in place today, typical for this time of year, but there is a chance of some storms developing late this afternoon along the dryline in southern portions of northwest Texas and west central Texas. Storm chances are not that great, but if one manages to develop, instability in the atmosphere is expected to be quite high and storms will rapidly become severe. The tornado threat is low with any that develop, but large hail and damaging winds would be quite possible.
Here’s a look at the expected highs for today. I wanna break out a fan just looking at them…
Here’s a look at the very balmy and warm lows expected overnight…
Storm chances return to portions of west central and northwest Texas on Saturday…we’ll have more details on that plus the latest on Wednesday’s tornado outbreak coming up later today!
