Some easing of the heat for next week!

After being beaten up by the Hell High this week, it's great to see some more reasonable temperatures (mid-upper 90's) forecast for next week, along with a chance for rain. The much-advertised inverted trough will form in the Gulf and move very slowly westward next week, increasing rain odds for the coast and coastal plains starting this weekend, then the rest of south and south-central Texas next week. There is a tiny chance of some storms forming on Thursday, thanks to a stationary cool front over east Texas.

I'm still scratching my head, trying to understand why we aren't seeing more activity in the Atlantic and Gulf. Both bodies of water are running above average, and logic would say the odds of more storms forming would be great right now.

Below are today's scorching high temps along with the latest models, etc.

Tomorrow's temperatures should be the worst of this heat wave...hopefully we will see a slow downward trend in our high temperatures starting on Thursday.
