π‘οΈ SUMMER HEAT - Our rain coverage will be fairly low each day with only a 20-30% shot at those afternoon downpours.

π₯ THE HEAT - Highs will soar into the 90s today as heat indices top out over 100Β° for a good portion of the afternoon.
Itβs pretty typical summer heat for now but the hot and dry pattern likely flips back stormy next week.
A heavy rain threat is coming to the area as we get into next week but first weβre set to experience a normal summer weekend of weather.
π§οΈ STORMS INCREASE - Locally storm chances are ramping up today as we come under the influence of this frontal system.
A developing tropical system in the Gulf is likely to bring impacts to our local area late Wednesday into Thursday.
This potential tropical cyclone is still just a disturbance, it has no name. Arthur would be the name if it ever gets upgraded but there is a growing chance we don't see this ever form into a tropical storm.
Tropical Storm Arthur has formed off the Texas Coast.
