Hot and a bit muggier today....TD 2 in the Gulf
>> Thursday, July 08, 2010
Yesterday was indeed a scorcher with highs in the upper 90s to in excess of 100 degrees in some spots. The afternoon had a desert-like feel to it with very low levels of humidity again.
Today, things are beginning to change a bit. It will get a but muggier as the day unfolds, and it will still be pretty hit....mid to upper 90s. As an area or low pressure hangs near the coast, a few afternoon storms are possible around the Triad, but most spots will remain dry. The southern foothills and the Charlotte region should be largely dry, but the chances of showers and storms will increase the farther east you go in the region.
A cold front will begin to get close enough to us tomorrow to increase the chance of scattered showers and storms with highs in the low to maybe mid 90s.
Scattered showers and storms still highlight Saturday's forecast, but then some drier air will slip in here for Sunday and Monday, meaning dry conditions and lower 90s for highs.
TD 2....
Our disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico got classified as a tropical depression last night. It is heading for a landfall near the Texas/Mexico border this afternoon. The system is really lacking in the convection department this morning, but if it can fire some concentrated convection, then it could become Bonnie prior to landfall.
The problem from this system will be more rain in the precise areas where they don't need it. Many of the same areas that received some heavy rains from Alex will likely gets rains from this system.

It reached 101.3 at the house yesterday. That's the hottest reading of the season for me. But it didn't feel all that bad outside with the low humidity.
We need some rain, though. My grass has decided to give up; maybe it will reemerge in September!
Yep, hot stuff for sure. Lots of crunching when walking on the grass....
