Heat advisories in Texas
A persistent upper-level ridge above the Central and Southern U.S. continues to bring dangerous heat for the next several days.

Atlantic Basin quiet
So far this season, there have been 2 tropical storms, Authur and Bertha. Bertha brought 3 to 5 inches of rain for parts of the area last week, but is gone at this point. Due to wind shear, Saharan dust and a strengthening El Niño, there are no tropical cyclones expected for at least the next 7 days. However, keep in mind the peak of hurricane season is not until September 10th.
The hurricane season runs all the way through the end of November.
