FORECAST
Good morning! We’re keeping an eye on a surge of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. As humidity has gone up, so too have temperatures. We’re some 20 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time. The moisture is also helping to create fog and drizzle. This could make for a damp morning commute for some. We’ll also see showers and a storm or two develop by midday into the early afternoon. Be prepared to dodge some rain. Otherwise it’ll be mostly cloudy and warm.
Friday brings rain chances, too, as a front moves in from the west. Storms will once again be possible, with the threat of a strong storm or two. The front should move through by the evening hours, with lingering clouds into Saturday morning.
The weekend should be beautiful as skies clear. We’ll also see comfortable weather for much of next week, as the weather pattern quiets. With regards to Hurricane Raphael, while it is forecast to reach the western Gulf of Mexico, it is expected to fall apart and be swept either south or well to the north of Texas. In other words, it will not have any impacts for us. Have a great day!
