I hope you’re hungry...for nothing
Temperatures will change every now and again, but that’s about it!
Central Texas has been treated to (see: unfortunately contending with) three months in a row with at least a two week stretch with NO precipitation at all. It’s looking like that trend will continue for this month too. We’ve officially received nine-hundredths of an inch of rain at the Waco Airport and need another nine-hundredths of an inch of rain to get us to an average amount of rain for the entire year, but we’re not expecting any rain for at least a week and potentially longer!
What we do have a fair bit of is chilly weather! Sunday’s cold front did bring us a big weather change with cloudy and cool conditions for most of us. Although we’ll end up this afternoon with similar afternoon temperatures, we’re thankfully seeing a plethora of sunshine too. Morning temperatures starting out in the upper 20s and low-to-mid 30s will only warm into the mid-50s this afternoon despite all of that sunshine. Winds will stay relatively light, thankfully, so the wind chill will only be a few degrees cooler than the actual temperature, but the sunshine will make it feel a lot better when the sun does come up.
After today, it’s up, up, and away! Our morning temperatures are still going to stay on the cool side with mid-30s out the door Tuesday morning, but high pressure building across the western U.S. keeps the cold away and allows the sunshine to warm us up into the mid-60s tomorrow afternoon. High pressure won’t move much at all during the course of the work week, so afternoon highs will get a boost with the continued sunshine. Expect highs in the mid-to-upper 60s Wednesday and Thursday with even some lower 70s returning for highs on Friday! There is a chance that a cold front clips our area during the day Wednesday, but it very well could stay away. This front may either just move through or stay a few dozen miles away. As of now, mid-60s remain likely, but don’t be surprised if we do see a brief one-day temperature drop Wednesday into Thursday should that front eek through.
High pressure may move just enough for the tail end of a strong cold front to push through late Friday into early Saturday. The cold air behind Friday’s front won’t be notable and it won’t last for long, but it’ll help to drop our afternoon highs closer to average for a few days. Morning temperatures, thanks to occasional cloudiness hanging around this weekend and into next week, will stay above average in the mid-to-upper 40s pretty much every morning. Despite those clouds hanging around, we’re not expecting any of that moisture to reach the ground. There is the potential for a bit of rain as we approach the weekend before Christmas, but I wouldn’t hang my hat on that. Heck, there’s a chance that precipitation stays away in the days leading up to Christmas too. That’s great for Christmas travel, but we do need a little bit of something...
