Tuesday Morning Forecast

Good Morning from morning meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

It was a breezy and humid day across the Big Country to start off our work week. Temperatures toped off in the lower 90's although it felt closer to 100 with the heat index.

Today we will see plenty of sunshine with scattered clouds. The winds will kick up a bit which should help to keep a breeze, a relief from the heat. Again the humidity will factor in to make it feel 5 to 10 degrees warmer.

Tomorrow we will return the rain chances to the area however i am keeping them only at slight. A tropical upper level low pressure system should push into south Texas but it is a fairly weak system. With it we could see more moisture pushed our way however I think the best chance for any rain will be our south and southeastern counties. We will continue the same for Thursday.

By the beginning of the weekend we will remove the rain chances and bring back the partly cloudy skies.

Through the week temperatures stay in the lower 90's with lows in the lower 70's.

Hurricane Dean made landfall near Chetumal, Mexico early this morning around 3:30 am. It reached a category 5 hurricane with winds topped at 165 mph. It is the third most intense hurricane to make landfall after the Labor Day hurricane in 1935 and Gilbert in 1988. The hurricane will move back into the Bay of Campeche after pushing over the Yucatan peninsula today. It will make another impact in southern Mexico by tomorrow after reintensifying. With its current track we should see no effects from the storm.

Have a good day!
