Good Morning!  We’re in a nice place, weatherwise right now. It’s a storm-free dry forecast through Friday at least. We may tie or break record highs today, tomorrow and Friday. The high today and tomorrow and Friday will reach the upper 80’s to near 90.    Normal 79/46.  Widely scattered showers and still warm Saturday.  Showers and storms likely on Sunday.  Then, MUCH cooler by Monday and Tuesday.  Here’s my brief video forecast discussion from the National Tropical Weather Conference – South Padre Island Texas.

Here’s the set-up today.  Note the storm system west and northwest of us.  The Storm Prediction Center has a rare High Risk. A dangerous TORNADO OUTREAK is expected today.

RECORD HIGHS:   Today, tomorrow and Friday, we may tie or break records at MGM.  #alwx

Here we go again.  We’re looking at yet another Severe Threat over the weekend by Saturday night into Sunday.

Here’s the 10 Day Model Blend Temperature Trend. Warm now, but  look at the big drop next week.
