A hot and dry air mass is currently present over the Laredo area. This dry air mixes with the shallow layer of gulf air each afternoon, resulting in low humidity. The presence of a tropical depression in the eastern gulf is being monitored.

It has the potential to develop into a tropical storm early in the week and is expected to move westward. Further details about the potential storm and its impact on the area are available from KGNS. If the storm tracks far enough south, Laredo may see a chance of showers by Friday.
