Welcome back. I, I know a lot of you, uh, will be off work for the next few days. Uh, you may be traveling, heading out of town or just have some, uh, you know, outdoor activities planned. A meteorologist, Jesse who Wheeler here to sure to tell us how, how the weather will, will impact all that. Some scattered rain, no washouts, no severe weather. But certainly if you're heading out on lakes, you're going outside be mindful because all I've gotta say, you know, download the W FAA app. You'll have radar there wherever you go. I say that because there will be scattered thunderstorms around. Not everyone's gonna see rain all day this weekend or Labor Day. But, uh, certainly it'll be out there 92. The high today, the normal is 93 outside right now. It's 91 at DFW. Feels like 97. Uh, the metroplex is dry, the scattered shower and thunderstorm activity largely fo uh focused to the west of the Dallas Fort Worth area, Jacksboro, Bowie, heavy rain just kind of drifting along this boundary well to the west of, of the metroplex and that's where that's staying for the next several hours. I mean, for the rest of this evening, maybe a spotty shower or storm in the metroplex or areas east. But this is where the rain will be starting, uh, you know, between now and the rest of tonight. So if you have Friday night football plans, you have any sort of plan to kick off the long weekend. No, no major concerns for most areas. If you live west of the metroplex, looking at you Graham and mineral wells up to Bowie Jacksboro, those areas there will have the better chance of rain tonight, then a front will scoot closer and closer, getting into Saturday. So by three o'clock in the afternoon, Saturday, the rain coverage will shift a little bit farther to the east that will include the Dallas Fort Worth area, uh for a better chance of rain on Saturday. It's not a watch out again. Scattered. That's the main, that's the key word here as we go through the next few days, more scattered showers and storms going into Sunday is that front, uh, kind of stalls out across the area that will serve as the focus for more showers and storms. Sunday. Same thing for Labor Day Monday, more rain chances primarily to the south of the metroplex but still the Dallas Fort Worth area, another scattering of showers and storms. So Saturday, 40% coverage Sunday, 50 Monday, 40 high temperature wise, really not bad for this time of the year, right. Around 90 degrees, even a couple of days there in the upper eighties that will linger into next week as well. So 88 on Labor Day, it's been a lot worse around here. I've seen it. You've seen it too. We know that 88 is not so bad. 74 degrees tonight, scattered rain and thunderstorms, warm and muggy with light winds. Those will be out of the east 5 to 10 MPH tomorrow. Like today, more scattered showers and storms. But that coverage will scoot a little bit farther to the east. So the rain chances go up tomorrow for the Dallas Fort Worth area, but it's not widespread. 90 degrees. There's the 14 day forecast more scattered to isolated shower and thunderstorms in the forecast next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, highs actually remain pretty decent for this time of year. That's actually below normal. The normal is 93. We'll have many days that we actually stay in the upper eighties even into that second week of September. Even though the rain, chances look to diminish that second week of December. Uh, high temperature wise, it looks like we'll stay close. If not cooler than normal, we will be right back after the break.
