Summertime Stretch Coming Right Up

Its hard to believe that the final day of Spring is coming up tomorrow. Once the clock strikes 12:04am on Friday, the Summer Solstice will kick start the official season of sizzle. For us here in the Brazos Valley, that means several extended periods of consistent weather with quiet, hot, and humid days. The key to most summers in Texas is a lack of rainfall.

As upper level ridges strengthen, storms tend to move well north of us. Rain does fall from time to time, but the overall scenario features dry weather. Recently, several showers have danced around Aggieland, but that trend will change later in the week.

In the upper levels a strong high will begin to dominate as the jet stream hangs well north.

With this being the case, storms tend to ride along the jet stream.

Several small disturbances moving into Texas is not out of the question, or even a few showers coming in off the Gulf. However, the overall pattern favors a long stretch of hot, dry weather through the weekend and into next week.
