Summary: Temperatures continue to increase into the triple digits with southerly winds fueling humidity allowing temperatures to rise to heat advisory criteria. Temperatures are expected to remain warm through the 4th and drop into the 90’s to upper 80’s by this weekend thanks to a stalled front. Temperatures will rebound shortly after as a warm front will make way north into Texas. Heading into next week, it bears watching for the possibility of Beryl making impact either directly to indirectly to the state of Texas sometime next week with a hint at tropical showers by Monday. A blocking omega high pattern will keep Beryl south with landfall potentially a fourth time after Jamaica and the Yucatan peninsula. Major hurricane Beryl continues to make history as the earliest category 5 hurricane in recorded history beating out Emily that reached category 5 status July 17th in 2005. Sharan dust playing a role in the hazy conditions today as well as limiting the potential for another disturbance in the Caribbean.
Today: Sunny skies with Saharan dust and a heat advisory until due High Temperature: 103° Winds: SSW 10-15 G 20 MPH
Tonight: Mostly clear, warm and breezy night. Low Temperature: 78° Winds: S 10-15 G 25 MPH
