A summertime weather pattern will persist across Texas over the next seven days. We’re fortunate that there are no indications of the upper-level heat dome (high pressure) developing over Texas. That doesn’t mean it won’t be warm to hot — after all, it is summer.
However, without the upper-level heat dome overhead, we won’t experience subsidence (sinking air). This absence of subsidence will allow daily afternoon pop-up thunderstorms to continue across the eastern third of Texas.
Today and Wednesday, monsoonal moisture will keep bringing rain chances to the Borderland (El Paso) and the western quarter of Texas. Heavier rains could lead to localized flooding.
When thunder roars – go indoors!
