Several Clouds, Still Hot

Cloud cover from storms to our north has made for an unpleasantly muggy morning as temperatures are in the lower 70s. The upper level ridge that kept clouds at bay yesterday has flattened out thanks to upper level energy ejecting out of a Western U.S. trough, which should allow for more clouds today than the last several days. However, the primary storm track will remain just to our north over the next 24 hours so we'll continue to be hot and dry today. One factor that will make today feel more uncomfortable is the fact that dew points will remain in the 70s today. Combine that moisture with a high temperature around 91 and it will feel quite steamy this afternoon. A complex of thunderstorms will erupt this evening across Texas and will send a stream of clouds in our direction overnight. This will only allow the temperature to drop to 72 tomorrow morning. If you're not used to the heat just yet, you might want to make quick adjustments because next week appears even warmer. After next week, we should switch to a slightly cooler and wetter pattern.
