.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday Night)
Issued at 239 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024

High pressure over Texas will keep the weather generally uneventful,
with the exception of isolated showers/storms possible north of I-10
this afternoon (Piney Woods/Livingston areas). Activity may also form
along the sea breeze this afternoon as it moves inland. Otherwise,
expect warm temperatures and partly cloudy skies. Lows for tonight
Will be in the 70s with light patchy fog possible in the early
morning hours.

As for Sunday, a combination of a diffuse surface boundary moving,
forcing from remnants of Ileana (coming from the Pacific) and
remnants of Francine that will be sagging into the Lower Mississippi
Valley will yield about a 20-30% chance of showers and storms
generally west of I-45 on Sunday. Elsewhere, ridging and southerly
flow will continue to contribute to above normal daytime
temperatures as highs warm into the upper 80s along the coast and
into the 90s further inland. Locations in the Brazos Valley may be a
degree or two shy of 100F.

Not a lot of issues are expected during the long-term with ridging

wise, it`s going to be mostly hot and dry with a revisit of summer
like temperatures. Highs to range from the lower to mid 90s...with
heat index values in the 100-107F range. Hashtag second summer. 41
