Tag Archives: end of the heat

The ridge of high pressure that kept us really hot all summer is gone. We haven’t hit a triple-digit high in several days. And a nearly-stationary trough of low pressure over West Texas is drawing in moisture from the Gulf. LCRA meteorologist Bob Rose expects we’ll see showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. He doesn’t expect to see a lot of rain, but there’ll be a chance for more into next week. We sure need it, though I would prefer a couple of flash floods back-to-back.
