Hot and Sunny Afternoons Through Wednesday

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - A hot airmass is parked above south Texas. The air 2,000 feet above the ground is dry, and stirs in with daytime heating, lowering afternoon humidity. A tropical depression in the eastern gulf may dissipate over southern Louisiana midweek. The remains of it’s upper level circulation may continue to move west above our area bringing cloudier skies Thursday and Friday. We would only have a slight chance of a shower. I will continue to watch how this evolves.

Scattered Showers, Still Watching River Level

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Heavy rains fell once again in the Hill Country, the trend is for the emphasis to gradually shift west and southwestward during the next 2 days. The widespread heavy rains will be most likely near and north of a wind shift boundary to our north and west, showers will be much more spotty in our area. The river at the international bridge downtown will rise to near bank full Thursday night. If more heavy rain falls over the Rio Grande south of Amistad Dam tonight or Thursday, there would be another chance of the river rising to bank full on Saturday. Drier air will bring sunnier and hotter weather to our area beginning Saturday.

South Texas Weather: Rain Returns, Humidity And Heat Continue Into Weekend

As the weekend unfolds in South Texas, residents find themselves transitioning from relentless heat and record-high temperatures to a more variable weather pattern marked by the return of rain and sustained humidity. After enduring a stretch of triple-digit heat that gripped much of the region since early this week, the atmosphere is beginning to ease slightly, bringing scattered showers and more cloud coverage that hint at a brief respite from the scorching sun. However, the persistent high humidity and still intense UV index remind locals that summer’s grip is Pharr from over.
