It’s still officially summer and yesterday proved that with some new record-high temperatures established. A cold front pressing into the East will bring storms across the region today, but still hot ahead of the front. This will force the ridge, and record heat, back into Texas over the next couple of days before the heat wave breaks. A stronger cold front will bring a cooler pattern into the eastern two-thirds of the nation next week.
