From Extreme Heat To Seasonal Weather

Boy ohhhhh Boy, last week was a hot box. Last Tuesday, the thermometer rose all the way to a new daily record of 106°. However, this past weekend, we were spoiled with plentiful clouds and some areas of light rain, which cooled us off dramatically. We actually stayed in the 80s all weekend long for a change.

Note the temperatures from the middle of last week and into the weekend....you would not think its summer around here:

A minor disturbance rolled in from the Gulf this past weekend initiating clouds cover with rain capping the temperatures in the 80s. But with some breaks in the cloud cover temperatures rebounded into the 90s this afternoon.

As far as the current pattern this week, temperatures should remain seasonal with a couple of light showers from time to time, especially along the coast.

High pressure anchored over the northern Gulf will keep the extreme heat away, and send some cloud cover our way due to a clockwise circulation off the water.

Humidity levels will be up this week, but temperatures stay steady in the middle 90s. As far as rain activity, it will be spotty. Therefore, a vast majority of the Brazos Valley will be dry this week. However, any showers that do crop up will drop a quick downpour.

Wednesday for Independence day, we will experience a lower chance of rain as cloud cover depleates for the afternoon. Same idea goes for Thursday, but more clouds come back at the end of the week and into the weekend with a few isolated showers.

Overall, nothing too excited here, but at least the extreme heat is not in our current forecast. Keep your eyes to the sky, weather is a miraculous phenomenon.
