Dry conditions are prevailing in the Rio Grande Valley. A strong high-pressure system is currently over the Four Corners, leading to a pattern of sinking air and clear skies. Temperatures are expected to rise into triple digits, with higher heat index values making the air feel even hotter.

This pattern is bringing lots of sunshine to the area, with no clouds or showers in the forecast. Further details on the forecast are available from the Valley Storm Team, which is providing a brief look at conditions through October.
