Forecast Discussion:
Another upper-level ridge of high pressure continues to situate itself over the Southeast U.S., bringing some of the hottest weather this upcoming week the Brazos Valley and Southeast Texas have seen this summer. This dry heat allows temperatures to heat up quickly during the late and afternoon hours throughout the week in the Brazos Valley. Be sure to use caution outdoors during the heat of the day, check on your neighbors, and stay hydrated.

Daily temperatures look to move into the upper 90s to 100° each afternoon, with heat index readings exceeding the triple digit mark across Southeast and East Texas. No rainfall is expected in the Brazos Valley through the next seven days (extended forecast). Outdoor burning should be limited throughout the upcoming week because of a lack of rainfall, dry vegetation, and breezy winds. In turn, that leads to increased fire danger. Several counties in the Brazos Valley, including Madison, Houston, and Leon Counties. On a side note, latest global models show El Nino intensifying through the fall and early winter seasons, as the Pacific Jet Stream dips across the Southern United States. That could mean a cool, wet weather for the Brazos Valley, with all that polar air likely being locked across the Arctic Circle and having a hard time breaking southward into the U.S. In other words, large, long-lasting cold spells may be harder to find.
