Mostly Sunny, Hot

A summer-like ridge was in place yesterday and allowed for temperatures to jump into the upper 80s for most locations. The main ridge axis will be displaced slightly to the east today, but we'll still see highs very similar to yesterday. Being on the western side of the ridge is always tricky, especially in regards to cloud cover and convection since there is some slightly cooler air aloft. The main upper air disturbances will remain to our west so we should stay dry, but we could see a stray cloud or two throughout the day. Still, temperatures will still be able to top out near 87 this afternoon. Winds may also gust up to 20 mph mainly this afternoon. Tonight's forecast is tricky because it depends on how a convective complex in Texas evolves. If the complex is large, it's possible it could sling some high cirrus clouds our way, which would keep lows quite mild. At this point, I think the main cloud cover would stay just to our west, but southerly winds may keep temperatures higher than guidance overnight so I'll forecast a low of 61.
