It's very rare this time of the year to see a cold front clear the entire viewing area. I still have some doubt that the front will make it into Texas; however, the weekend looks mostly dry, with high temperatures in the 80's to near 90 degrees with lower dewpoints.

One of the obvious changes will be an overall reduction of the humidity. The drop in moisture is directly related to changes in the upper level wind flow. The pictures above represent the wind field around 5,000 ft. On Thursday the flow will remain out of the south as you can see in the top picture above. A southerly flow off the gulf keeps the moisture flowing north, but our expected frontal passage will reduce the flow off the Gulf of Mexico, and by Saturday, the upper level winds will blow from the northeast, helping to drop the humidity.

It's looking to be a wonderful weekend to enjoy the outdoors!
