Monday’s forecast:

This front will help lower humidity, but temperatures will remain above average early in the week. Strong to severe storms are possible along the cold front.

The strongest storms will be focused in North Texas, so anyone traveling to watch the Texans take on the Cowboys should be aware that they may encounter some unsettled weather.

By game time, the storms will be long gone in Arlington.

As for the SE Texas timeline, the best chance for rain and storms will arrive in the afternoon and continue into the early evening.

Another cooldown:

Get the pots ready, because it’s soup weather! Another cold front arrives Tuesday into early Wednesday, bringing a batch of cooler air. While our latest modeling has adjusted to put the coldest air a bit further east of Texas, we’ll still be able to grab a good chunk of it. That will help keep temperatures for most of next week a bit more fall-like, generally mornings in the 40s and highs in the mid-60s.

Tracking the Tropics:

Sara has weakened into a tropical depression after going ashore in the Yucatan. Its rains continue to drench parts of Mexico and Central America, causing flash floods and mudslides.

As for this season as a whole, it has been extremely busy. In a normal season, we expect to see 14 named storms, with 7 becoming hurricanes and 3 becoming major hurricanes. So far we have seen 17 named storms, 11 of which have become hurricanes and of those 5 have become major hurricanes.

10-day weather forecast:

The 10-day forecast remains warm overall. We will see a brief cooldown Wednesday through Friday. Temperatures will push above average in the last week of November.
