After a series of evenings with a chance for showers and thunderstorms, our chances for rain are coming to an end. There will be a very low chance for a stray shower or storm tonight, mainly northeast of a line from Mt. Pleasant to Marshall. Temperatures tonight will drop into the mid and upper 70s under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. The rest of the week looks mostly sunny and dry, with highs in the mid 90s. This weekend, highs will climb into the upper 90s, and that's where they'll stay through next week. Morning clouds with afternoon sunshine will be the forecast through the middle of next week. There are some indications rain could return to East Texas around the 4th of July. At this time, we'll keep a low chance for rain in our forecast beginning July 2nd and continuing through the 4th.
Today in weather history... On this day 1975, Eastern Air Lines Flight 66 crashed while on approach to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing 113 of the 124 people on board. The crash was determined to be caused by wind shear caused by a microburst. The daily weather history segments come to us courtesy of the Southeast Regional Climate Center.
Also on today's show, we'll get an update on severe weather that continues outside of East Texas, and our weekly Wednesday Weather Word is "bush." Finally, today's satellite imagery of the day, courtesy of the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere.
