Good morning, Texas. Friday made it, and so did the heat. At this point, July isn’t even trying to surprise us anymore. It’s just showing up every morning like it owns the place.
North Texas could see a few afternoon thunderstorms, East Texas is keeping the humidity thick enough to make your porch swing squeak in slow motion, Central Texas gets another full day of sunshine, South Texas is reminding everyone that parking under a tree is a luxury, and West Texas is serving up another day of sunshine with all the moisture of a saltine cracker.
By afternoon, temperatures will climb well into the 90s across much of the state. Every gas station freezer door will get opened just for the breeze, somebody will hold their hand over the truck seat before committing to sitting down, and at least one Texan will confidently announce, “It’s only July,” before immediately regretting saying it out loud.
By evening, a few lucky folks may catch a passing shower while the rest of us stand outside for exactly thirty seconds, decide it’s still too hot, and head right back inside. Tomorrow is August, but don’t expect the thermostat to notice. 🤠☀️⛈️🌡️
