Above normal high temperatures remain in the forecast through the end of the week. We'll be in the middle to upper 90s up until our highly anticipated cold front arrives on Monday of next week. Chances for rain remain low-end until then, but with the cold front next week will come a higher chance for showers and thunderstorms. Of little to no concern for East Texas in the short term, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area for potential tropical development in the Atlantic, currently being given a 40% chance of development in the next seven days.
Today in weather history... On September 14-15, 1944, the Great Atlantic Hurricane pounded the Eastern Seaboard. Significant storm surge, rainfall-induced flooding, and winds over 75 mph damaged thousands of buildings in towns from the Carolinas to New England. 46 people were killed in the US. Today's daily weather history segment comes to us courtesy of the Southeast Regional Climate Center.
Also on today's show, we'll look at a cloud created by wildfires in Oklahoma and follow up on storm recovery following Helene nearly two years ago. In the absence of a show yesterday, the weekly Forecast Accuracy Report will be included today as well. Additionally, our satellite imagery of the day, showing a large low over North America pulls Pacific moisture across the Central United States, courtesy of the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere.
