The summer heat is returning… And not going away anytime soon unfortunately
We’re back to regular scheduled programming as our normal taste of summer weather returned across Central Texas today as Beryl continues to travel northeast further away from Texas. Now, this morning was VERY pleasant! Hopefully you were able to get outside and enjoy the cooler temperatures this morning as the day started out down into the upper 60s and low 70s, which is actually the coolest morning we’ve had since June 7th! While it was hotter across the area today than how the work week started, we have a stretch of hotter weather returning to Central Texas as high-pressure begins to build back into the state gradually over the rest of this week and into next week. Overnight we’re expecting quiet conditions with another pleasant start to Wednesday in the forecast. Morning lows won’t be as cool as what we saw this morning, but lows will be down into the low to mid 70s… And highs will be back near the mid 90s for the afternoon tomorrow, which is right around the normal for this time of the year. Humidity levels will still remain elevated, but that’s nothing new for us in Central Texas this time of the year. As the story has been so far this summer, the humidity will make it feel hotter - So feels-like temperatures Wednesday afternoon will be feeling closer to that triple digit mark. Also for Wednesday, the forecast is looking dry for MOST, but we cannot rule out a few isolated thundershowers from developing during the afternoon and evening hours.
For the rest of the work week there’s not a whole lot of change in the forecast. Everyday temperatures will steadily climb back up and humidity will follow suit too as a high-pressure begins to strengthen and build in from the southwest. Afternoon temperatures everyday Thursday through Saturday will be around the mid to upper 90s and each day will start out around the mid 70s. Once again, there will be the possibility of a few thundershowers popping up during the afternoon and evening hours Thursday through Saturday, but most will miss out on rain. The thermometer will really begin to crank up as we head into the new week as high-pressure parks itself over the state. By Sunday highs will be in the upper 90s and there’s not much changing throughout the new work week either. Highs every day next week will be hovering right below or just above 100-degrees, but feels-like temperatures could be back up to around 105° next week… And depending on where the high-pressure sets up, we may stay in this typical hot and dry weather pattern as we head deeper into the month of July. As of right now, rain chances for next week are not looking good for Central Texas since we look to be under the influence of high-pressure, but models are hinting at the possibility of a few showers possibly popping up in our area later in the week, but as of now, it’s just looking hot, humid, and dry for Central Texas next week.
