Hey everybody! Help us welcome our newest meteorologist, Kenny! Today was his first and certainly not last weather balloon launch. This was also our last special launch per the request of National Hurricane Center due to Hurricane Francine. #txwx #nmwx

Unfortunately, the heat is certainly on for Friday the 13th...🥵 Tomorrow's temperatures are still the hottest in our forecast. A cooling trend will then develop during the weekend through next week. Though this cooling will be very gradual (emphasis on "very")...#txwx #nmwx

Hold the pumpkin spice! Hot 🥵conditions continue Saturday, but those in the southern reaches of our area may be lucky enough to be graced by some rain!🤞⛈ #nmwx #txwx

Temperatures continue cooling into next week. Isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, from the Guadalupe Mountains to the Big Bend. #txwx #nmwx
