A "wish upon a star" rain chance returns today

Aug 16, 2024 | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

I pulled you in with that headline, didn’t I? Yeah, there is the possibility for a stray shower or thunderstorm late today near and west of I-35, but the rain chances are so low that they’re almost not even worth talking about. I’m calling it a 5% chance for rain today, so in general, today will just be another hot and humid day of weather. Morning temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70s will warm to near 101° late this afternoon with heat index values approaching 107°.
Let’s give it up for the return of a heat advisory!

Central Texas’ long stretch of abnormally cool, rainy, and less humid weather has come to a close and we’re going right back into the doldrums of summer for the next week at least. A heat advisory, a summertime staple here in Central Texas, has been hoisted for nearly the entire area through 8 PM today as onshore flow continues to pump humidity into the atmosphere.
Before typical summer weather returns late next week, Tropical Storm Beryl is set to drench parts of Central Texas

Friday’s afternoon cold front helped to bring Central Texas some decent (for July) weather Saturday and some of that will continue into Sunday as well, but all attention turns to Tropical Storm Beryl as it’s set to move ashore in Texas late Sunday into Monday. Although the worst of Beryl will stay well away from our area, a heavy rain and flooding threat will emerge Monday and Tuesday here locally, especially near and east of I-35.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance...

For some of us, yes! There’s a possibility for a few pop-up showers and non-severe storms this afternoon, but the vast majority of us will NOT experience anything more than the heat and humidity that’s been stuck in place. By the way, today will likely be one of the hottest days of the summer (so far) with the highest heat index of the year (hopefully not so far).
Heat! And lots of it!

Every year, we typically quickly switch from stormy, rainy, and cooler Spring-like weather into summer-like weather conditions. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you that the switch has been flipped. Temperatures will continue to warm up over the coming days, but it’ll be the humidity that does us in for the near term. A heat advisory goes in effect today at 12 PM running through 7 PM Tuesday.
A potential tropical depression or storm should bring Texas mid-week rain

Although we’re just a few days away from the summer solstice (and for the beginning of less daylight per day too), the typical hot and dry summer weather is NOT going to be around for the beginning of the season.
Bye bye rain, hello heat and humidity!

Jun 13, 2024 | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

We’re FINALLY expecting a long string of dry weather, and in fact a string of dry weather that may last at least five days in some spots, but the lack of rain and the lack of clouds will remind us that it’s June and Mother Nature is cranking the thermostat up.
Keep the umbrella close for the next few days

We’re still in the battle of the seasons across Central Texas and although summer will eventually win out, we are expecting a few shower and thunderstorm chances early this week with some slightly cooler temperatures to boot as a weak cold front oozes in and stalls out. Thankfully, the next few days of rain and storm chances should NOT feature much of a chance to turn severe, although a stray strong storm could contain large hail and some gusty winds.
Heat relief is on the way with some rain returning next week

Jun 7, 2024 | kwtx.com | Sean Bellafiore

Central Texas’ shower and thunderstorm chances remain out of the forecast for the entire weekend with heat and some returning humidity staying the main weather story, but changes are likely on the way next week as a late-season cold front swings through. Today’s weather should be quite similar to yesterday but with just a tinge more heat and humidity. Morning temperatures are starting out a touch warmer than yesterday but still fairly pleasant with upper 60s and low 70s out the door.

After weeks of rain, severe weather, and flooding, the weather forecast is finally straight-forward and mostly inconsequential! The only realistic issue we’ll have in the weather department over the next few days is the hot afternoon temperatures. Even though it will be less humid for the next few days compared to what we saw earlier this week, be sure to stay hydrated if you’re spending any extended period of time outside.
