[tireman4]

Be careful out there folks....

Fairly cool this afternoon. Only 91 at both Bush & Hobby. That's a degree or two below normal for this date. Might need a jacket this evening.

[Katdaddy]

Not much to say about the weather today. Mostly sunny with an isolated shower or thunderstorms today along the Upper TX Coast.

Just something to watch for now, but the 0z Euro tries to develop a depression that makes landfall on the 4th of July fwiw.

Looks like a couple of gravity waves to our Northeast headed this way.

Storms in MS is falling apart...

If there is any good news regarding the weekend, GOES E shows the upper trough digging into the Eastern Gulf is shoving that Saharan Dust plume a bit to our SW perhaps sparing us from the worst of that dust plume. Allergies have been tough for many this year.

Uncle SAL is coming for this weekend.

[Katdaddy]

The SAL (Saharan Air Layer) has arrived to the Upper TX Coast today making for a slight hazy/dusty tint to the skies. Perhaps an interesting sunset this evening.

Good-bye June 2018. You have been, well, hot.
