Dry conditions leading to minor drought

Drought conditions are developing state and areawide, communities west of Houston are finding themselves in moderate drought conditions.

Houston proper is not yet in a drought, but it is dry.

Dry vegetation is leading to an increased risk for brushfires, so be very cautious with any outdoor burning until conditions change. Lower humidity values also lead to an increase in fire danger.

In the tropics

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor an area of low pressure over the northern Gulf, this area will likely NOT develop due to strong upper-level winds. It is however producing showers and thunderstorms off the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

In the distant Atlantic, there will likely be a depression or tropical storm forming next week. This formation is thousands of miles away and the long-term path is uncertain.

The next name on the list is Jerry.
