    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) -A few thundershowers from the high terrain of northern Mexico may last long enough to cross the river this evening (Tuesday). Rising air with an approaching wave in the upper level wind flow may be helping to maintain the storms. They are scattered, and will not effect all of Webb and Zapata counties if the cross the river. With a moist atmosphere, skies will be partly to mostly cloudy through Thursday with slight chances of showers.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Moist gulf air has returned to our area. Showers will likely form over the mountains to our west with daytime heating Tuesday afternoon. An approaching wave in the upper level wind flow may produce just enough rising motion in the atmosphere to where some of the showers could survive a trip east into our area Tuesday evening. I will watch the radars, just in case. I will have my 7 day forecast at 10. For more headlines, click here. Copyright 2025 KGNS. All rights reserved.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - A dry airmass lowered our humidity and cleared our skies during Sunday. The moist air remains along the coast, and will return westward Monday, bringing a return of cloudier and humid weather. I cannot rule out a shower midday (slight chance). Waves in the upper level wind flow will produce rising motion in the atmosphere, and may be sufficient for showers that form on the high terrain of Mexico to reach the river.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Another hot day during Friday with hot desert air capping a shallow layer of warm moist gulf air. Cirrus may dim the sun during Friday afternoon, holding temperatures shy of 100. A weak wave in the upper level wind flow will arrive from the west, possibly popping up a scattered shower Sunday dawn. Slight chance. A more moist atmosphere and weak waves in the upper level wind flow will bring slight chances of showers during the upcoming week. For more headlines, click here.

    LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Hot air from the desert southwest has moved east into Texas. We are on the eastern edge of the desert air. Desert air, although most pronounced to our west, will have enough influence on our weather for our dry afternoon conditions to continue. Temperatures will be above 90 each afternoon with the possible exception of Tuesday. During Tuesday, the southern edge of a cooler airmass over the central Great Plains may reach into our area.
