New weatherman trick, built themselves in a back door with the last paragraph.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Temperatures this afternoon are expected to reach the hottest readings recorded all year, but humidity will be a bit lower than previous days. This means most areas are not under a Heat Advisory – but we still recommend using caution when exerting yourself outdoors.
An approaching upper-level trough, summer cold front, and tropical disturbance from the Gulf may combine to mess with your outdoor plans this weekend. Rain chances are expected to steadily increase from Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening, with periods of heavy downpours possible. In fact, the latest rain total forecasts from the National Weather Service indicates some areas may receive 4-5″ of rain in the next week. This is more than twice our average monthly total for August.
While rain and cooler temperatures will be a welcome change for many residents, this is the type of weather setup that can disappoint. There are several variables in the developing weather pattern that are uncertain at this time, which could lead to some areas receiving several inches of rain, while other nearby locations receive little. Stay tuned to KXAN for frequent updates as our high resolution computer models resolve the current uncertainty.
