Good Thursday morning friends. Summer weather continues with a humid start to the day and mild winds. We’ll look for daytime highs to reach the familiar low 90s and winds turning in from the southeast at 5 to 15 mph. Pop-up thunderstorms are possible again this afternoon after 2 pm, with gusty winds and small hail along with some heavy downpours. Remember to head indoors if you hear thunder.

Effective Wednesday, July 15th, 2020, County offices will be locking their doors to the public due to the increase in COVID cases.

Doors will remain locked until the next Commissioner’s Court, at which time the situation will be re-evaluated.
