mistake?

I was just reading the Houston forecast, and this is what they have forecasted for Sunday night through Labor day:

Sunday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 70.

Labor Day: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 70.

Monday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 70.

I then went and even cross-checked it with other towns around Houston showing a similar forecast.

Is this accurate? Could we really go from 87F the day before to 70F on Labor day and then back up to 88F the next day?

Has to be a mistake. Here's the forecast for the DFW area for the same time period. I doubt you guys to the South would be that much cooler on the daytime high on Monday.

Sunday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 65. North northwest wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Labor Day: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 86. North northeast wind around 5 mph becoming east southeast.

Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 66. South southeast wind around 5 mph becoming east northeast.

this forecast doesn't match their grids but it does show up on their point and click webpage. EWX and FTW aren't showing this cool-down so it looks like they simply had a big error on the Labor Day Max Temp forecast grid and didn't catch it.

their new PNG files are on the webpage so the text does match the newest gridded forecast. It looks like they are banking on the cold front and associated convection keeping them socked in all day on Monday. Its a big gamble but its always possible.

wow. If this plays out, then that could mean record low maximum temperatures for this area.

I am still suspicious though, because the afternoon AFD made no mention of unusually cool highs and enough rain/clouds/cool air to cause this. I guess we will have to see what the morning forecast looks like..

i agree. usually with a 10+ degree departure from the MEX, it will at least garner a mention. however...HGX is the only office biting on this right now. everyone else is in the 80s.

I don't see that happening AT ALL. Sorry.

I'm surprised it's not fixed yet though.
