Mostly Sunny, Hot

It's felt rather pleasant in recent mornings, but the thermometer in the afternoon has slowly been creeping upward. An upper level short wave ridge is responsible for the warm temperatures and for limiting the development of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. This means that this afternoon will be hot and dry with a passing cloud from time to time. The high this afternoon will top out near 94! The good news is that dew points will remain low enough that the heat index shouldn't be a major problem. However, it would still be a good idea to drink plenty of water if you'll be outside for any long period of time. By tonight, winds will finally veer to the southeast and dew points will slowly climb throughout the overnight hours. A few stray high clouds are possible early tomorrow morning due to anvil blow off from convection in Texas. The low tomorrow morning will be near 68.
