If anything I've noticed more bugs. But we live about 300 yards from Lake Ray Hubbard and have a canopy of trees behind our house. I've also noticed more snakes. *shudder*

Bob Rose says the high pressure ridge will be dominant through next week into next weekend, likely longer. Wonderful for Wxman! 
But, he says it is likely to shift around and park itself over the northern and central Rockies in July and August. That would be better for us as far as tropical development in the gulf. Hoping/praying.

"A ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere is forecast to strengthen across Texas beginning Monday, continuing through late week. The ridge will cause a pattern of mostly sunny, dry and hot weather all of next week. High temperatures are forecast to reach the middle 90s Monday and Tuesday but warm to the upper 90s to 100 degrees across the Hill Country and Central Texas regions next Wednesday through Friday. The ridge looks to slowly shift a bit more to the east next weekend, causing slightly lower temperatures. But the weather is shaping up to stay dry next week into next weekend and quite likely even longer.
Although the ridge of high pressure will be building in across Texas next week, this is not the start of the ridge parking itself across state. The center of the ridge will be moving around over the next couple of weeks and not staying in one place for all that long. The center of the ridge is still expected to set up mostly over the central and northern Rockies come July and August."
