It looks to me like the series of upper air disturbances we have been
seeing that have brought us all the afternoon pop up T-storms have given
way to our normal Summertime *High* pressure systems. Those will bring us
mid 90's with lots of Summer Sun for the next 4-5 days before we see any
chances for rain. You can see the string of blue Highs in the graphic below.
Before the change we had lots of rain for a Texas July. I will get the
amounts out as I receive the reports.
Aso shown in the graphic are 3 tropical events being watched.
- Atlantic - Tropical *Depression *FOUR* that has been hanging around
for days has now officially become a named Tropical *Storm *DON*.
Located off the NE coast of Venezuela.
- Eastern Pacific - Hurricane *Fernando* has been churning up the waters
of the Pacific at a Cat 4 level. It is expected to loose strength over the
next couple of days and become a TS by early morning the 21st of July.
- Eastern Pacific - Following closely on the heels of FERNANDO is Tropical
Depression *SEVEN-E*. Will it find enough disturbance
following Fernando to be come a Tropical Storm or even a Hurricane?
