AN EXTREME HEAT WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM WEDNESDAY FOR THE BRAZOS VALLEY. A massive heat dome moved overhead Wednesday, igniting widespread heat advisories and warnings across the Brazos Valley and Southeast Texas during the middle of the week. With added humidity, heat index range 110°-115° outdoors Wednesday afternoon and evening in the Brazos Valley. By late week, highs are back in the upper 90s across the Brazos Valley, but heat index values are still in the 110s. Please use caution in this heat and check on your neighbors.

Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall along Southeastern Louisiana Wednesday afternoon, flinging scattered tropical downpours into Southeast Texas. Per the latest advisory from the NHC, #Bertha is expected to remain at tropical storm strength as it moves closer to Texas, before making a second landfall near Galveston, TX. What type of tropical system it becomes at landfall is uncertain. If the center of Tropical Storm Bertha scoots along the Gulf Coast, it could weaken it into a depression at landfall as it interacts with land. However, if it remains over Gulf waters, it could be stronger and provide tropical impacts to the Texas Coast. Tropical force winds (40mph+) could be a possibility across the Southern Brazos Valley late Thursday into Friday afternoon (low for now). However, Bertha appears to wash out over our area, allowing the Brazos Valley to return to its scheduled heat and humidity this weekend.

Thursday: High 97. Low 78. Sunny. Heat index: 111°.
