Forecasts are looking less encouraging for rain for next week. Temperature forecasts are 5-10 degrees warmer now. What changed?

Guess it depends on where you live, my NWS point forecast is highs in the upper 70s to low 80s every day with rain chances.

Nice storms up in the Panhandle this evening

Plan was always October. Rest of the month will still be above normal temps for most of the state, especially the southern half.

Maybe average rainfall at best. Better chances for rain in the panhandle.

Latitude hath its privileges

Didn’t expect a rain shield west of FWD, though it is collapsing.

It’s almost comical watching it dissipate as it nears Tarrant Co.

Will keep the day cool-ish . Forgot what 100F feels like now.

Rain shield collapsing just west of the Austin metro as well, although it is creating some nice, coolish breezes and clouds like it's going to rain.

Travelling to Lubbock on Friday for a Tech band alumni get together during the game. Hopefully they'll win when I am up there!lol Don't know much about Tarleton State, since we didn't ever play them when I went up there since it was a different conference at the time. Looks like they'll be in on the wet and temps in the 70s for highs!

Morning update from Jeff Lindner and Go Tech!

Increasing rain chances continue in the forecast for mid to late week.

Surface high pressure to the northeast of the area this morning has allowed a dry air mass to move across the region with the passage of a weak frontal boundary on Saturday. This taste of drier air will be short lived as moisture will begin to return on Tuesday with increasing dewpoints and southerly winds.

A series of upper level disturbances will round the northern and northeastern portions of a flattened upper level ridge of high pressure over MX and these disturbances will result in complexes of thunderstorms over NW TX into NC TX. The first of these complexes will approach SE TX on Tuesday, but it is likely that the local air mass will still be in the process of moisture recovery and this activity will weaken and dissipate…could see some showers and storms around the College Station area.

Better rain chances begin on Wednesday and continue into Thursday and Friday as a weak front sags southward and stalls near the region. With moisture having recovered by this time and several disturbances aloft moving into and across the area…periods of showers and thunderstorms will be likely especially on Thursday and Friday.

While it is likely not going to rain everywhere each day…much of the area stands to see the potential for 1-2 inches of rainfall north of I-10 and .50 to 1.0 inch south of I-10 in the Wed-Fri period.

Weak front will push south into the Gulf waters late Friday into Saturday allowing another dry air mass to move across the region. This air mass also looks a bit cooler than this weekend, but this is still several days out so won’t get overly excited about any truly cooler temperatures, but certainly a drier feel to the air is likely by next Sunday.

Fire Weather:
Dry dewpoints and low afternoon humidity values still plague the area and there were several fire starts yesterday even across areas that saw rainfall on Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. With the dry air mass in place again today and much of the fuel loads remaining critically dry…fire concerns will be high. Good news is winds will be light from the northeast and east and humidity values start to increase on Tuesday. Hopefully mid to late week rain chances materialize into widespread wetting rainfall before yet period of dry air and slightly stronger winds arrive next weekend.

If the gfs has any say on the matter, you’ll remember soon enough…

Tech should win that game no problem.

GFS seems to be trying to build the heat back next week. Not like we've seen, but looks above average, which is in line with the CPC forecasts for September.

Well, we lost to Wyoming

Tarleton is a bad FCS team. They were in Division II up until a couple years ago and Tech would not even have been allowed to play them. Tech will win by a ton.

Normal for mid September in DFW is upper 80s so a bit of a warmup after this week wouldn't be too out of line.

Big difference between Tarleton and Wyoming.
