4th of July Forecast

Several showers and thunderstorms fell across the Brazos Valley this afternoon with the hardest hit location being Navasota. Other than a few more isolated showers, when the sun sets, the storms will set as well. When you take a look in the upper levels of the atmosphere, there is a dome of high pressure sitting to our northeast.

During the summertime, we call this upper level high or ridge, the ring of fire. Under this high is extreme heat, but around this baking oven are storms that fire all around it.

From the eastern slopes of the Rockies to Canada and around through the Gulf Coast, storms have been drenching many areas around this high. Additionally, we have a wind that is coming off the Gulf that has aided extra humidity and produced several sea breeze showers, some of which have been heavy.

By tomorrow, there will be a few more showers, but mainly over the coast and south of I-10. Here in the Brazos Valley, clouds should begin to break around tomorrow afternoon for Independence Day and the sun will finally be out for all of your outdoor activities.

Just in case a shower streams in off the Gulf, keep your umbrella nearby. You can always stay informed with the KAGS Weather app for Android and the iPhone.

Now lets get to the forecast you have been waiting for.....fireworks.



Generally, the sky should be partly cloudy and temperatures will dip into the upper 80s with high amounts of humidity.
