Weather headline: Dryer conditions today, thanks to northerly winds around a low pressure area to our east. Heat index 100 plus.

CFL game of the week: Edna vs Industrial. Kickoff 7:30pm. Dress cool and bring plenty of cold water. Temps just shy of 90 by kickoff.

What we are tracking: Weak low pressure has moved inland near Galveston, with heavy rainfall towards Beaumont and into Louisiana. Here in the Crossroads, northerly winds have brought in dryer air and more sunshine for our area today. Rain chances will increase again by the weekend into next week, as a weak front approaches.

A closer look: Instability and plentiful moisture in the air will keep us hot and oppressive, with rain chances going back up by the weekend into next week, as a weak front nears the area and remains stationary for most of the time period.
