SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE THE LAST HOT DAY FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FOR
THIS STRETCH, WITH THE DOMINANT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FORECASTED TO
BREAK DOWN STARTING ON SUNDAY. THIS ALLOWS TEMPERATURES TO COOL,
WITH HIGHS IN THE 97 TO 103 RANGE ON SATURDAY COOLING INTO THE MID
AND UPPER 90S FOR SUNDAY AND THEN LOW TO MID 90S FOR MONDAY.
PROBABILISTIC INFORMATION REVEALS THIS TREND AS WELL, WITH MEDIUM
TO HIGH CHANCES (60-90%) OF 100+ DEGREE TEMPERATURES FRIDAY
AFTERNOON DROPPING TO MEDIUM CHANCES (30-60%) BY SATURDAY, AND
THEN LOW CHANCES (LESS THAN 20%) BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY, BREAKDOWN OF THE UPPER RIDGE FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK IS A TYPICAL PATTERN WHERE WE SEE AT LEAST A FEW
ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS ACROSS THE AREA. LATEST MODEL BLENDS
ARE SHOWING SOME OF THIS FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON, BRINGING SOME LOW
POPS INT THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA SOUTHEAST OF A SAN
SABA TO MENARD TO SONORA LINE. ONCE WE GET CLOSER AND GET A BETTER
VIEW WITH SOME OF THE CAMS, SUSPECT THAT SMALL POPS WILL BE
EXPANDED OVER A MUCH LARGER PORTION OF THE AREA FOR MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT THE RIDGE WILL START TO REASSERT ITSELF
FOR LATER PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK AND TEMPERATURES WILL START TO
INCH THEIR WAY BACK TOWARDS THE 100 MARK IN SOME AREAS ONCE AGAIN.
