Hurricane Harvey and It's Affects On Us

Overall a fairly nice evening across the Stateline, with temperatures in the upper 60's to low 70's with partly cloudy skies.  A couple of isolated rain showers down to the south, but these will stay down south, keeping the Stillman Valley football game nice and dry.  A few more showers are moving in from the northwest, but these should fizzle out before reaching our area.  We'll stay partly cloudy for the overnight, where we'll cool down to the low to mid 50°s.  More than likely there won't be any locations that hit the upper 40°s.

Some moisture inflow from Hurricane Harvey will move into our area this weekend, giving us rain and storm chances.  We'll go into Saturday afternoon mostly cloudy with a slight chance for rain, but the better chance for rain shows up when the warm front will move in a little closer around 7pm.  The rain will linger during the overnight, with a cold front expected to move through Sunday afternoon.  This will bring us some thunderstorms, a couple of which may produce a few strong wind gusts.  The cold front moves out around 10pm, after which we're looking to stay fairly dry going into the work week.

Temperatures will be in the upper 70's during the weekend, and then cool down to the mid 70's during the work week after the cold front moves out Sunday night.  We're not expected to hit the low 80's across the Stateline again until the middle of next week.

Hurricane Harvey Update:
Harvey has now been upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane as wind speeds have reached 130mph.  It's expected to make landfall during the overnight tonight, and will end up bringing upwards of 35 inches of rain around the Corpus Christi area with storm surges upwards of 12 feet along the Texas Gulf Coast.  The hurricane will stall on land during the weekend, and is not expected to die down until the middle of next week
