Rain chances continue to increase this week

So far, and it is just Monday, we are already doing better than last week in terms of temperatures; only 73 degrees in Arlington but if you go a little to the east, we can see Sulphur Springs in the 60s.  At about the same time last week, most locations on that map were already in the 80s.  We are expecting temperatures to only reach the mid 90s in most spots, we should have plenty of sunshine with showers and storms well off to the west.  Better chances will come later in the week or even tomorrow where some spots may get wet.

In fact, the chance of any one spot getting wet Tuesday through Friday will range from 20-50, with the highest chances on Wednesday.  So it seems like everyday this work week (except Monday of course) we will have at least some chance of seeing some rain. Not all locations will see storms and this week will not be a washout.  But, at least temperatures will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s for much of this week with lower humidity values.  Otherwise expect partly to mostly cloudy skies for much of this week.

The Weekend - Rain chances taper off by the weekend and we should stay dry with plenty of sunshine.  It should feel great since we are not as humid.  As a result, the temperatures should continue to stay in the low 90s which should make things feel pleasant.

Next Week - Next week should feel a little more similar to this week.  Lots of sunshine with chances for showers and storms Monday and Wednesday.  Plus, factor in the lower humidity values, and it should feel pleasant with highs in the low to mid 90s with clouds out at times.  I'd say we are very fortunate to not have to deal with excessively hot weather during the hottest part of summer.

Have a great day.  I may be back later with an update on the tropics.
