FORECAST
We’ll be shifting back to a summer pattern for the rest of the work week. That means hot and dry weather. Then, all eyes turn to the Pacific. Here’s what you need to know.
HOT & DRY THROUGH FRIDAY
As a quieter pattern takes hold, with slightly lower humidity, temperatures will climb to around 100° the next several afternoons under full sunshine.
LORENA
The leftover rain-making energy and moisture from Tropical Storm Lorena could have a big impact on South-Central Texas this weekend. Often this time of year, what forms in the Pacific can be more impactful than what forms in the tropical Atlantic. The exact timing and location of heavy rain is to be determined, but there’s increasing potential for another heavy rain event.
Tropical Storm Lorena likely to hit Baja Peninsula should send leftover tropical moisture and rain-making energy our way.

WEEKEND FORECAST
What unfolds this weekend will hinge on Lorena. If Lorena speeds up, Saturday would be the day for rain. If Lorena slows down, rain is most likely Sunday. The potential for flooding will exist. BOTTOM LINE: Don’t alter plans yet, but be prepared to adjust as we get closer to the weekend. We will keep you posted!
