LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - A shallow layer of gulf air had enough influence in Laredo to hold our temperatures to about 105F Wednesday afternoon with the air remaining moist with dewpoints in the mid 60’s. Just to the north, desert air mixed down nearly to the surface in Cotulla, dewpoints lowered to the low 50’s, and the temperature reached 111F. The gulf air will continue to have enough of an influence to hold our temperatures to near 105F over the 7 day forecast period.

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Desert air (mid 90’s at dawn at 2,500″ above the ground) just above a very shallow layer of more humid gulf air at dawn will mix in, making the temperatures jump up in a hurry after ~10 am Wednesday. We will at least get close to 110F if not reach 110F. The desert air will continue to remain aloft through the 7 day forecast period, bringing 105F heat most of the days through early next week.

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Our moist air is being lifted to form tall rain clouds by a wave in the upper level wind flow and cold front approaching from east of the Big Bend. The atmosphere will still be moist at about 7,000′ altitude Friday and Saturday. While most places will be dry, we will have partly to mostly cloudy skies, sunnier as the atmosphere above dries out Sunday. Temperatures will be in the 80’s with lower humidity. Hot desert air expands north into our area next week.
