A Roasty Toasty Work Week

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another very hot day across the Big Country as highs were close to 100. More of the same is expected through the work week. An upper level high pressure ridge will continue to remain in control across the area. This means hot temperatures and pretty much dry conditions. We can expect highs around 100 through Friday.

A little more moisture and a break down of the ridge is possible next weekend so we may cool down into the mid 90s by Sunday and also have partly cloudy skies.

We have our first tropical system of the hurricane season now. The 10 p.m. CDT advisory from the National Hurricane Center states that Tropical Storm Alberto is located 345 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola, Florida. It has sustained winds of 45 mph with gusts up to 60 mph. It is moving north-northeast at 8 mph. The latest projected path has the storm making landfall on Tuesday in Florida so Tropical Stom Watches are in effect along the Florida coastline from Steinhatchee to Bonita Beach. We'll continue to give you updates as the storm approaches the coastline.

Have a magnificent Monday!
