    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - A thickening layer of hot desert air is above a thinning layer of moist gulf air. While we may see some morning clouds, we will have plenty of sunshine with low 100’s Friday. As the desert air above becomes more prominent during the Friday to Monday time frame, our temperatures will rise further above 100, perhaps reaching 105F. A wave in the upper level wind flow will approach our area Tuesday.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Desert air expanding north above our gulf air will prevent rain clouds from forming through the weekend. Our greatest influence from the desert air above will be during Saturday and Sunday when temperatures will rise further above 100. A wave in the upper level wind flow will approach our area from the west by Tuesday and Wednesday. This will help to lift our humid gulf air to possibly form tall rain clouds, chances of showers during those days. For more headlines, click here.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - A deepening dome of desert air will arrive above our humid gulf air late this week and especially over the weekend. The desert air will act as a lid on any tall rain clouds from developing. The desert air will stir in enough by the end of the week and weekend to lower afternoon dewpoints into the low to mid 60’s. Nighttime and mornings will still be humid with dewpoints in the 70’s. The desert influence will raise afternoon temperatures to near 105 on the weekend.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Hot Desert Air is building over the Mexican Plateau and is capping our moist gulf air just enough to prevent rain clouds from forming. It is having enough influence to raise our temperatures to 100F. The desert air will become more pronounced and will bring hotter 105F temperatures during the upcoming weekend. I am not expecting rain during the 7 day forecast period. For more headlines, click here. Copyright 2025 KGNS. All rights reserved.
