Daily Fog Rest of Week...

Now that models agree that we won't see another cold front sweep through for at least a week, morning fog will be the main weather issue here.  The daylight (visible) satellite views show how the widespread fog quickly dissipates over land, but lingers well into the afternoon over bodies of water.

Our weather pattern is governed by a persistent West Coast upper trough that keeps a SW-West flow over us.  This will not allow any cooler and drier air to push off the Gulf coast, but stall well to our north.  That will be the battle ground for heavy rainfall (3-5") during the next 5-7 days.   The Mississippi River at the Carrollton gage is slowly falling, but addition heavy rains to our north will ensure high river levels well into April, which is the historical time for maximum water flow.

You can see the effect of the higher sun angle as most of Texas saw mid to upper 80s with 70s into Kansas.  There is no real cold air in the country except over the Great Lakes and Maine.

 We will be 80+ for the next 10-14 days with MAYBE a cooling trend towards the end of this month.  Remember "in like a Lamb, out like a Lion!"  Don't be surprised to see the last week of this month being the coldest week.   We are not done with cold fronts, but Spring cold fronts often bring along severe storms.   Nothing like that is on the horizon now, but we are only 1/3 through March.   Stay tuned!
