FORECAST:

• The rain from overnight has started to finally move out early Monday morning, and what a beneficial rain it was! We picked up about 1.5″, which is just about as much as we saw throughout the entire month of June.
• The low clouds in the morning will help to hold down the heat for the afternoon. Highs just near 90 degrees, but it will still be very humid.
• Storm chances are much lower Monday as a result (best chances will be out in the mountains out west.)
• The higher heat returns Tuesday and lasts through most of the week. Highs stay in the lower 90s for most of the week, with heat index values at or above 100 once again.
• Hurricane Beryl made landfall Monday morning along the Texas Gulf Coast and brought major storm surge, flooding and power outages there. We won’t see any direct impacts from this storm, but the remnants will help to drag a weak cold front into our area late week. This should increase our rain chances once again from Wednesday through Friday.
• A small drop in the humidity hopefully rolls in late week, but the heat really isn’t going anywhere, with highs staying near 90 degrees.
