Mostly Sunny, Comfortable

Today will seem like a heat wave compared to recent temperatures, but temperatures today will still be slightly below normal for this time of the year. A subtle disturbance moving out of the Gulf of Mexico is creating some cloud cover to out south and west. Some of this cloud cover, mainly high cirrus clouds, will arrive later this morning, but it should not have a major impact on afternoon highs. The main weather influence today will be a surface high shifting to our east, which will allow highs to top out around 60. Skies should be mostly clear tonight with lows dipping down to 31.

On Saturday, a disturbance digging into the Southwest U.S. will pump a ridge over the southern Plains and Southeast. This should result in a full blown heat wave across the region this weekend. Saturday looks excellent with just a few clouds in the afternoon. Highs should be in the mid 60s. Clouds will return Sunday in advance of a developing storm system, but I think we'll be dry through the daylight hours. Highs should top out in the mid 60s. Rain will return late Sunday night. Colder air will return Tuesday with highs below normal again, but this air mass does not appear to be as cold as recent air masses.
