The hot, sticky weather will continue through Friday as a ridge of high pressure aloft remains over south Texas. Humidity will be high with dew points in the mid to upper 70s, keeping our nights muggy. Days will start with low clouds and turn partly to mostly sunny with increasing southeast winds up to 25 mph. A spot shower is possible Thursday and Friday but most area will stay dry. A trough of low pressure aloft will move in from the west this weekend, bringing rain chances back to the Coastal Bend. Showers and storms will be isolated Saturday but widely scattered Sunday. Our best chance of rain comes from Memorial Day through Wednesday as a wave of low pressure meanders across south Texas before departing late Wednesday. This will also bring our temperatures down a bit for the first half of next week.
