Hottest days of 2024 (so far!) across Texas

Texas remains entrenched in the typical weather doldrums we expect in August—mainly dry and hot weather and always a watchful eye on the tropics.

Hurricane Debby is making a ruckus in Florida this morning. Unfortunately, it looks to pull a Harvey-like move and stick around the Southeastern United States through the week.
