Issued at 1138 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025 The Saharan dust has started to diminish over the area, with moisture increasing through the weekend.

While this will help encourage convection, the main driver will likely be the seabreeze each afternoon.

High temperatures will range from 90 along the coast to around 102 across the Brush Country.
