Rainy, Cool

A cold front currently situated west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area will slowly progress eastward today, but ahead of the front, upper level energy will combine with warm air advection to aid in the development of showers today. It's going to take a while for rain to reach the surface with dew points in the upper 30s, but we should have enough moisture in place by this early afternoon to allow rain to reach the surface. Don't be surprised to see some sprinkles this morning, but our best chance for rain will hold off until this evening and last into Wednesday morning. Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take an umbrella with you today. Temperatures are going to be tricky today, especially if we get evaporational cooling this morning. With this in mind, I'm going to undercut model guidance and the NWS and forecast a high of 60 this afternoon. A good soaking rain will fall tonight and temperatures will be near 51 tomorrow morning. Light rain could be lingering around tomorrow morning as well as you drive to work or school.
