The end of spring is still several weeks away, but summer is already unpacking its bags for a long visit to Texas. Memorial Day is the traditional start of the vacation season, and many folks are looking forward to a trip to the lake or beach.

The overall pattern in the upper levels is already looking more like summer than spring. Temperatures have been running above average for several weeks, and that is likely to continue.

For now, we’ll expect morning lows in the upper 60s and low 70s for north Texas; Middle 70s for central areas and upper 70s to the south.

Afternoon highs will range from the low 100s in the RGV region to upper 90s in central Texas and upper 80s and low 90s for north Texas.

Daily rain chances continue. While they are somewhat low for any given area, severe storms are possible wherever they may develop. The best chance of severe storms is across north Texas for Thursday, but most areas along and east of I-35 will still see a few strong storms.

Hotter and stable weather across Texas is expected as we begin the long weekend.
