Heat Makes A Comeback

Did the sight of rain make you jump for joy? It seemed like forever since the last time a several parts of the area saw liquid fall from the sky. Most areas picked up less than 0.10" of rainfall, but at times, it was coming down quite heavily.

The above image illustrates the Doppler Radar estimated rainfall amounts over the past 24 hours. A majority of the wet weather fell across portions of Washington and Burleson counties. However, this is the only taste of rainfall we will get for several days as drier weather works in for the remainder of the work week.

An upper level high pressure system will take charge, drying up any chance at rainfall later this week.

From it's current position, the high in the upper levels will slowly shift west and straightening during the week.

Therefore, expect a lack of cloud cover, an increase in the maount of sunshine, and 100° days will be back by Thursday. Long term computer guidance suggests that this pattern will hold stead through the weekend and eventually break as rain could return by Monday of next week.

Finally, Tropical Storm Chantal formed in the Atlantic Ocean and will make a swift move towards the Dominican Republic and Cuba before grazing parts of the U.S. southeast coastline.

 

I will keep an eye out for Chantal's progress, but for the Texas coastline, there is no threat.
