Heat Begins To Takeover

OK....the image was just for effect, but the weather is going to sizzle. Despite a great weekend with low humidity and some early morning rain Sunday, this week is going to be a lot different. A ridge in the upper levels of the atmosphere will take over and build from the Desert Southwest.

 

Eventually this searing ridge of high pressure will settle in the Central Plains and bake most of Texas. With this type of upper level pattern, you can expect similar weather each and everyday through the weekend. Therefore, the sun will be beating down on you, humidity levels will rise, and temperatures will hit the upper 90s to near 100°. Even if we don't hit 100°, it will feel like it when you add in the humidity.

 

Since this will be the first prolonged stretch of really hot weather, make sure to stay safe. Slop on plenty of sunscreen throughout the day if you are outdoors, keep hydrated, and take brakes often in the air conditioning. Finally, never leave your pets in the car.
