Weekend Weather Synopsis / Severe Weather Possibilities

The weekend started off nice and cool early in the morning as over 26,000 participants (including me) attended the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event in Dallas. Skies were fair to partly cloudy with temperatures started in the mid 50s since 5AM. Summer wasn't entirely through with the North Texas region yet as highs topped the mid 80s yesterday and today.

A cold front is expected to sweep through our region by Tuesday, bringing a chance of thunderstorms. The severe weather threat has dropped significantly after the Low Pressure and Difluence (the split between low pressure and Jet Stream) has moved west to New Mexico. However, I can't rule out an isolated severe thunderstorm or 2 on Tuesday and Wednesday, especially east of the I-35 corridor.

There's another chance of thunderstorms from Thursday on, especially during the opening of Fort Worth Zoo's 19th annual "Boo At the Zoo" Halloween exhibit this coming weekend. You and your kids (if applicable) may have to bring raincoats and umbrellas as a precaution, but I hope it doesn't rain on that Saturday.
