The above normal temperatures continue for another day courtesy of an upper level ridge currently positioned over Texas.   Westerly winds will continue to mix out the remaining surface moisture, resulting in drier conditions and minimal chances for precipitation today.  Expect mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the lower 90's and tonight's low temperature to be in the low 60's.  Light north-westerly winds around 5 kts.
