Weathercast for: Saturday July 4, 2009

PARTLY CLOUDY AND HOT THROUGH TOMORROW

A CHANCE OF RAIN TO APPEAR EARLY NEXT WEEK

Partly cloudy and hot today. High temperatures will be range from the low-90's in Galveston to the mid-90's on the mainland. Expect winds from the south at 10-15 mph. Partly cloudy and mild tonight. Overnight lows will range from the low-80's on the Island to the upper-70's on the mainland. On Sunday, we will have partly cloudy skies and hot temperatures again. Look for highs ranging from the low-90's in Galveston to the mid-90's inland. Winds will be from the south at 10-15 mph.

DISCUSSION

Hot, dry conditions will continue across southeast Texas through the weekend as an upper-level high pressure system continues to dominate our weather. An upper-level trough expected to move across the Midwest on Tuesday or Wednesday may provide us with at chance of rain, but that will depend upon the trough developing enough to destabilize our atmosphere. We shall see!

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

A non-tropical low in the east-central Atlantic has a low potential for development over the next day or two as it moves east. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Basin is quiet at this time and no tropical storm formation is expected.
