Another 100°+ Day Ahead:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Same Old Song & Dance: Yesterday turned out to be the hottest day so far with the recent heat wave. Abilene officially recorded the 5th 100°+ high for the year reaching 101 yesterdaya afternoon. It's likely we'll add number 6 to the list today.
The heat ridge remains well in control across Texas. Expect area daytime highs between 98 and 102° each afternoon and we'll see lows in the middle 70s each day. Expect partly cloudy conditions each afternoon.

* Rain Ahead? Models still suggesting the ridge may weaken just enough for some isolated storms to develop for the late weekend and into early next week. Looks like a front will drop into northern Texas and wash out, close enough to help get a storm or two going. Confidence is still low but I've decided to add a slight chance in my forecast package for Sunday - Tuesday.
