The small break from summer was nice while it lasted, but that hiatus has ended. Widespread rain chances have ended, and the upper-level ‘heat dome’ has returned to the southern United States. With the area of high pressure aloft, subsidence (sinking air) has kept rain chances at bay. High temperatures are back into the 90s and 100s statewide.
Isolated showers will remain possible over the next few days, mainly during the afternoon hours, across the western third of Texas and along the Texas Gulf Coast. Widespread precipitation is not anticipated; over ninety-five percent of Texas will remain dry this week.

High temperatures will rise a few more degrees until they peak on Thursday and Friday. We’ll see 100-110 degrees across the western half of Texas, with 90s and high humidity across the east. As the heat dome moves northwest, we may see a modest drop in temperatures (a few degrees) by Sunday.
We’ll be keeping an eye on a tropical disturbance in the open Atlantic. Development of that system isn’t likely in the short term, but it could show some organization as it approaches Florida in about a week. Development isn’t guaranteed, but we’ll keep an eye on it. No impacts to Texas are expected at this time.
