Sunshine will return to the Gulf Coast tomorrow, which should be perfect for the National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores this weekend with sunny, pleasant days and fair nights. REST OF THE WEEK FOR NORTH TEXAS - An upper high is located over the Texas Panhandle, which means we will experience cool, crisp days for a long time. Highs will be in the mid 70s and morning lows will be in the mid 50s with mostly sunny skies. THE WEEKEND - The remnants of Sergio in the pacific will be moving to the northeast towards North Texas, and we should be able to pick up a bit of moisture from the system. We will mention the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday evening through early Sunday morning. A good chunk of both days will be mostly dry with highs in the mid 70s on Saturday, falling into the middle 60s on Sunday as the cold front moves through. NEXT WEEK - We truly welcome in fall weather for the next several days with cool, crisp afternoons and fair, cold nights. Lows will be mid 40s to mid 50s, and the sky will be partly to mostly cloudy with highs in low to mid 60s for most of the week. See the Texas Weather Discussion Video for more details. |
