I would think that southeast Texas and the entire state of Texas would not cool much until October.

Temps next week look mighty toasty. 100F+ are looking rather likely as the Ridge builds back over N TX.

Larry Cosgrove says we have this heat ridge to deal with for the 14-16 days. I want to know who angered the weather wizard! As long as this heat ridge is scorching us here in SE Texas we are protected from the storms.

I'm praying for Fall/winter weather to arrive extremely early to SE Texas.
