The intense dome of hot air over Texas has shifted westward, allowing high temperatures to drop a few degrees. This also allows the sea breeze to become more active with afternoon showers forming along the coast and drifting westward.

Overall though, the summer pattern continues with hot, breezy and humid afternoons. Highs will be in the middle 90s through the week. Overnight conditions will generally be clear with low cloud cover in the pre-dawn hours and early morning. Lows remain in the middle 70s.

Sea breeze showers will become more numerous starting Wednesday. These might produce some brief downpours and occasional thunder but rain chances remain near 10% area wide. Whatever showers that do develop dissipate quickly with sunset.

In the Atlantic, no tropical systems are expected to develop through the next 48 hours. But longer range forecast models indicate a system may form in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico late in the week. It is still too soon to know exactly how this potential system may develop. Right now it looks like a tropical wave may move into northern Mexico during the weekend bringing a decent chance of rain to the area.
