FORECAST
Good morning! Today and Friday will bring more summer-like heat. Upper-90s are likely, while humidity levels will push the feels-like temperatures into the 102-105° range. Heat will be a real issue for Thursday night and Friday night football or for whatever outdoor plans you may have.
What about that cooldown? I don’t want to oversell any drop in temperature, because it’ll be gradual and minor. However, every little bit helps. We’ll see mid-90s this weekend, as humidity levels dip slightly. By next week, added cloud cover and a pattern change should drag temperatures down into the low-90s. The other bit of good news is that we’ve added back in some rain chances by Tuesday and Wednesday. Any activity would be isolated.
By late next week, models are hinting at a potential tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico. There are still many unknowns, considering development, if any, is still several days away. While we can’t completely let our guard down in Texas, passing systems across the country would likely pull any tropical development east and northeast towards central and eastern Gulf states. Still, we’ll watch it closely.

As for today and tomorrow, prepare for scorching heat that might affect outdoor activities. The gradual cooldown over the weekend will bring mid-90s temperatures and some relief from the oppressive heat. By next week, expect a shift in weather patterns that will lower temperatures to the low-90s and possibly bring some isolated showers.
