High pressure aloft over the western Gulf of Mexico is building over Texas. This bubble of hot air is merging with another dome over New Mexico, creating a strong downward motion in the atmosphere.

This will push temperatures into the upper 90s and limit showers to the Upper Texas Coast. We’ll also see some haze overhead as a plume of African dust has swept into the region. Heat Index values – what it ‘feels like’ – will top out at about 101-103 during the peak heat of the late afternoon.

Look for morning clouds and afternoon sunshine with dry weather through Sunday. Highs will remain in the upper 90s with morning lows in the middle 70s.

By late Monday into Tuesday, an upper level trough sweeps across the Central Plains sending a weak cold front down in to Texas. How far south and how strong it will be is still uncertain. Temperatures will moderate somewhat with additional cloud cover.

See the details in the Seven Day Forecast.
