As you are likely aware, I retired from broadcasting on September 16. I
will, however, continue to maintain the local forecast portion of the website.
I am taking two weeks off, and will return on October 3.
The times of issuance of the products will change. The reports will
appear around 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. whenn standard time returns on
November 6). The delay allows for being able to consult more forecast discussions and other

PUBLIC FORECAST EXPLANATION
ISSUED: 09/18/2016 1739C
The upper air trough, which has been bringing showers to North Texas for the past
few
days, has finally passed to our east, and is being followed by subsiding air. This has
brought
temperatures in the high 90s to our west, with lower 90s in East Texas at 5 p.m. Dew
points
have fallen, and humidities are in the 30-percent range to our west, and will fall here
tomorrow.
Until that happens, patchy fog is likely tomorrow morning, especially to our northeast
where the heavier rainfall amounts occurred over the past twenty-four hours.
The upper air ridge is re-establishing itself, and looks to hold through Thursday. This
is
going to bring well above normal temperatures this week, and virtually no chance for
showers
through Thursday.
Gulf moisture should return beginning Thursday. That is going to increase humidities
and lower temperatures slightly. By Friday, a significant upper air trough will be
approaching,
promising us widespread showers next weekend, and our temperatures finally getting to
seasonal
levels.
Otherwise, skies are sunny this afternoon behind this morning’s showers. Winds are
light
southwesterly. Rainfall amounts this morning were from a few hundredths of an inch to
more
than one inch, increasing from southwest to northeast. RKP
