In areas that see rainfall and increased cloud cover, temperatures are expected to remain below seasonal averages into next week, providing some relief from the summer heat. However, much of central and southern Texas, areas in the recovery phase from the catastrophic flooding, will face dangerous heat instead of renewed flooding.

We are entering a hot and muggy stretch with highs warming into the upper 90s and feels like temperatures to 105 degrees. A few clouds are possible Friday into Saturday as a tropical disturbance heads towards Louisiana.

One more slight chance of showers and storms is expected tomorrow, but thereafter, a prolonged period of dry weather is anticipated. Welcome to the mid to late July period. At least it is Friday, marking the end of another week.
