AC5JC Weather: Waco, TX

From Camille Hoxworth:

Hot weather continues to be the story across Central Texas and temperatures are going to slowly rise as we move through the weekend. Mornings start off muggy in the low to mid 70s and each afternoon brings sunshine and highs in the low to mid 90s. Of course, the humidity will make it feel like triple digit heat for at least the next 7 days. No rain is expected through Saturday but a stray shower might be possible on Sunday.

The most likely impacts from tropical storm Cristobal come in the form of a HOT day Tuesday. West and southwesterly winds behind Cristobal in addition to sinking air from Cristobal should send temperatures into the triple digits. As a dry line moves in and a cold front approaches from the north temperatures behind the dryline will likely range from 103 to potentially as high as 110 degrees. Ahead of the dryline, temperatures will likely be a little bit cooler but slightly more humid with highs ranging from 98° to 102°. Temperatures near 110° are not likely right now but could happen if the dry line moves through and the cold front approaches during the afternoon as we reach peak heating. Fortunately, the dry line likely won’t spark thunderstorms but some rain is possible Tuesday night as the front moves in.
