FORECAST
We are hitting a dry and hot stretch of weather. The pattern likely doesn’t break down until late in the weekend, which is when small rain chances return.
FIRE CONDITIONS
While the wildfire threat isn’t sky high (we lack strong winds, extremely low humidity), a sizeable fire was able to spread yesterday in southern Bexar County. The Silver Mountain Fire is now under control at 95% contained, and increasing humidity tonight will help the fire fighting effort.
HEAT, HEAT, AND MORE HEAT
With the heat high parked over West Texas, it’ll be a repetitive forecast through the weekend. Highs near 100, mostly sunny skies, and generally dry.
CHANGES NEXT WEEK
The heat high does break down next week, with a weak disturbance rolling through. This should bring back isolated showers & storms to the forecast starting Monday.
TROPICS
This will be something to watch over the next couple of weeks. The National Hurricane Center is currently watching two areas in the Atlantic, while Dexter weakens. Additionally, as waves come of off the coast of Africa, there are hints that we’ll see development during the middle part of August.
