Dry air is filtering into North Texas. Depending on where you live in the metroplex it either feels comfortable or incredibly humid. A look at the dew points, shows a great contrast from north to south. The dew point in Dallas is 61 degrees, relatively comfortable. However the dew point in Fort Worth is 70 degrees, very uncomfortable. If you travel just to the north to the Red River dew points are in the mid 50's! The drier air has been slow to work southward but with north winds that drier air will overtake the metroplex this afternoon and this evening.
With dry air and mostly clear skies tonight temperatures will drop into the low 70's and upper 60's tonight.
THIS WEEKEND...
Mostly sunny skies on Saturday and Sunday with temperatures in the mid 90's. There could be a few isolated storms on Sunday afternoon, but rain chances will be at 20%. And the favored area would be south and southwest of DFW.
NEXT WEEK…
Relatively quiet weather for the week with mostly to partly sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid 90's. There is no one feature that will trigger storms in the forecast next week. No upper level disturbance, no strong fronts coming our way. Instead, we will see heating of the day isolated showers and storms. Rain coverage will be low less than 20%, but any day next week you could see a garden variety afternoon storm.
