Issued at 1111 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Rain chances will remain low today through Tuesday as an inverted trough moves over the Texas Coast. PWAT values will also begin to diminish, with values dropping from nearly 1.9" Sunday night to 1.5" by the middle of the week. This will cause rain chances to significantly reduce throughout the week and into the weekend. Temperatures will remain high throughout the week, ranging from low 90s along the coast to near 100 across the Brush Country. High levels of humidity will continue as well, leading to moderate to occasionally high heat risk each day this week, with heat index values ranging from 100-110. Incoming Saharan dust will likely lead to hazy conditions and the potential air quality issues from Wednesday through Friday. Please visit TCEQ for air quality conditions and follow their recommendations. && .AVIATION...
