It's been 14 days without rain at my house, but that will come to an end as moisture from a Gulf Disturbance staggers our way for later this week. NHC again cancelled today's recon flight, but another is scheduled for tomorrow. Satellite loops continue to show a large circulation over the Bay of Campeche that appears to be getting better organized. However, there are no T-Storms around the broad center so development continues to be a slow process. The Euro has a closed low (depression? or Barry?) off the lower Texas coast east of Corpus Christi by Thursday morning with deep tropical moisture spreading our way. We could see a stray storm on Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday look to be stormy at times. We need the good soaking, plus it will lower our temperatures a bit.
Today we set a new record high at 96 and will be in that neighborhood tomorrow before clouds and showers promise some relief from the heat. Even though today was very hot, some drier air filtered in from the NE lowering dew points into the 60s. If you got out of the sun, it really didn't feel that bad. Expect dew points to climb into the mid to upper 70s by Thursday and that will give the air that old summer tropical feeling. OK, who's ready for the countdown to our first Fall cool front? Nah, Summer doesn't officially begin until the 21st so we just need to suck it up and quit complaining how hot it is. Stay tuned!
