Wednesday 8:58 am: A patch of showers is moving east from Mexico. The atmosphere above is now unusually moist. Showers today will be patchy, significant episodes of rain more widespread overnight, Thursday/Friday. We are still under a hot airmass, 90’s pm to near 100F today.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Tuesday 4:43 pm: 101F so far today, 24th day 100F or above this month, similar Wednesday. Gulf moisture and Pacific moisture with Tropical Storms Polo and Rachel will combine to bring a significant rain to our area Thursday/Friday, perhaps heaviest Thursday night.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Tuesday 9:09 am: Upper 90’s to low 100’s depending on how much sunshine we get through cirrus clouds high above. Deep layer of moist air moving north ahead of weather system over desert southwest and remains of Polo in Mexico brings widespread significant rain Thursday/Friday .

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Monday 3:55 pm: Big Picture Weathermap: Our 100F afternoon heat will continue through Wednesday. 100F so far today, 23rd such day this month, every day 97F+. Cooler weather begins Thursday afternoon as moist air arrives aloft, bringing meaningful widespread rains Thursday to at least Saturday.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Monday 9:02 pm: Hot weather will continue today with more 100F heat.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Sunday 9:30 pm: Moist air will deepen with a flow generally from the south Wednesday night through Saturday. This will flow above approaching frontal systems, eventually cool north wind by Friday evening. Widespread meaningful rain in that period, cooler weather with the rains.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Sunday 3:03 pm: Big Picture Weathermap: Our hot airmass will persist through most of Wednesday with near109F afternoon heat. Looking like a good opportunity for decent rain Thursday/Friday with cooler weather. I will have more on that this evening.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Sunday 9:01 am: A hot airmass remains above Texas. Lifted air is just buoyant enough to produce small fair weather cumulus in our afternoon skies, thin cirrus high above. ~100F pm.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Saturday 3:52 pm: A slightly drier atmosphere above is bringing a sunnier afternoon with near 100F heat.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Friday 6:07 pm: Looks like the last of the scattered showers (~6-10 miles east of Laredo) will track across north Laredo in the next half hour if they survive the trip. Football should be ok.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Friday 3:08 pm: Big Picture Weathermap: Tropical weather will be our weather control for a number of days. A drier atmosphere will ring sunnier skies, 100F heat this weekend. Radar shows isolated short lived showers.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Friday 1:05 pm: Cumulus are growing, isolated clouds are tall enough to produce short lived showers.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Friday 9:27 am: Plenty of cumulus in our marginally moist atmosphere. Isolated showers are still possible, most places stay dry. Isolated think most isolated showers that do occur would be done in time for football, will monitor. Upper 90’s today.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thursday 4:19 pm: Big Picture Weathermap: A tropical airmass is in control of our weather. Still moist enough, lifted air buoyant enough for scattered mainly short lived showers until ~ 7 pm for a few spots, will watch radars.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thursday 4:03 pm: An example of how quickly the small showers go through their life cycle: 3:30 pm, no shower over Laredo. Decent small shower over central Laredo at 3:47 pm. Nearly dissipated shower exiting northwest Laredo at 3:58 pm.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thursday 3:35 pm: Cumulus are growing, some are tall enough to produce short lived scattered showers, they are quick to bubble up and then fizzle out. A few spots will be lucky and get wet.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thursday 3:14 pm: Scattered small showers are ~14 miles east of Loop 20:

Thursday 12:08 pm: Cumulus are growing in our marginally moist, buoyant airmass. I will watch the radar. Showers will be scattered and short lived. It would take luck to be under one, but you would get wet under one!

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thursday 9:22 am: The atmosphere remains marginally moist, lifted air marginally buoyant to rise to form scattered short lived showers. Once again, it would take some luck to be under one. Will watch, upper 90’s.

Wednesday 4:18 pm: Scattered short lived small showers continue to bubble up and the fizzle, a matter of luck to have one wet a place down. Northern edge nearing Rio Bravo area.

Cumulus are growing taller. Hint of a rainbow from shower just to right of tree.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Tuesday 4:24 pm: A frontal system is stalling to our north, leaving us in a still hot airmass. Scattered showers are dotting our general area, some lucky spots will have one pass through.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Tuesday 3:33 pm: Isolated showers have formed as marginally moist air is buoyant enough to rise to form taller cumulus clouds. I will watch as these continue to bubble up in scattered fashion, some lucky spots may have one pass over.

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

@coweatherman.bsky.social On September 13, ~6:20 pm, lightning was depicted far from the core of a thunderstorm. Those strokes were not depicted by the GLM or by spherics. Were these strokes real and depicted accurately?

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Tuesday 8:51 am: A cool airmass is passing by to our north. The air above is marginally dry, but somewhat buoyant to rise to form some tall cumulus clouds via daytime heating and later, approaching sea breeze. I will watch the radar, just in case isolated showers form. High 90’s.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Monday 7:23 pm: Sea Breeze is moving through our area with some cumulus clouds, but no isolated showers. Humid rest of this evening, a bit of a breeze. High 70’s at dawn.

000

Richard Heatwave Berler @heatwavekgns.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Monday 4:47 pm: Small cumulus in our Laredo skies. Small showers further north in Webb County. Watching to see if sea breeze could pop up showers as far west as Laredo when it arrives between 7 and ~8 pm. Slight chance.
