..Dog Days Of Summer...

GOOD MORNING! July 3rd marks the official beginning of the Dog Days of Summer. The Dog Days are named for the Egyptian belief that the Dog Star Sirius added to the heat from the sun during the period of time from July 3 through August 11. That is when Sirius rises and falls with the sun.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Our cool front never made it. It became a stationary front near the Alabama/Tennessee border. We should have known that would happen. It is difficult to get a front through here in the middle of July. Moisture levels continue to be high, and a southeasterly breeze today will reinforce that. With a good bit of sunshine pushing temperatures to near 90 or just a bit higher, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across the area this afternoon. There is about a 1 in 3 chance that your backyard or lake spot will get wet with one of those storms. If you find yourself under one, expect lots of lightning and heavy rain along with some gusty winds.

FORECAST FOR THE FOURTH: Tomorrow will be a lot like today, with scattered thunderstorms developing again with the heating of the day. Most of the storms should diminish before the firework presentations. Temperatures on Monday will be near 90 in most locations.

REST OF THE WEEK: We stay in the soup through midweek, with lots of heat and humidity and those typical afternoon and evening summertime thunderstorms. Another front will approach on Wednesday, increasing our rain chances again.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Parts of the Hill Country of Texas were inundated by flooding rains over a five day period caused by a persistent upper level low pressure system that meandered across the area. During a five day period San Antonio had picked up over 14 inches of rain, nearly half of their average annual rainfall. The 9.53 inches that fell on July 1st was enough to establish the monthly record for the city - all in one day. Normally, only two inches of rain falls in San Antonio during the month of July.
