The heat index is expected to soar above 100 degrees this weekend.[/caption]

Tropical rains have made the start of this week a soggy one, especially east of Austin.

We have seen rain totals from just a few hundredths of an inch out west to more than 3 inches near La Grange. Now high pressure will move back overhead from the west as we begin to dry out.

Sea breeze showers will return next week. Please, always stay weather aware and Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
