Tuesday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from the Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Warm, humid and breezy those words described how we started our second week in August. Temperatures still stayed just a few degrees below average however if you were outside during the afternoon you would have not guessed they were. With the humidity factored in we saw heat indices reach the low 100's.

Today, we will again have that high parked just to our northeast right over the lower Mississippi Valley moving towards the gulf coast states. This has continued to bring us warm weather as well as much less cloud cover thanks to sinking air. Just to our west in the big bend rain still is possible as they are on the edge of the high where disturbances can rotate around along with monsoonal moisture. Temperatures should make it into the mid 90's with the real feel more like low 100's. We will still see the breeze which should help a bit with the heat gusting over 20 mph. Again if you need to be outdoors the best time would be early morning or late evening. Limit the activity during the peak hours of the day.

The high will move closer to the lone star state by the end of the week which will mean even warmer temperatures and continued sunshine. Enjoy the beautiful weather but please be precautious.

Have a great day!
