This week will feature the hottest temperatures of the year thus far as upper-level high pressure settles over the state. High temperatures will consistently reach the upper 90s and 100s for many locations as a noticeably drier weather pattern takes shape. ERCOT will monitor the tropical system in the Gulf. Notable impacts to Texas are looking less likely at this time, but additional forecast adjustments are expected in the days ahead. ERCOT is expecting moderately high to high demand with peaks in the mid-80,000- to lower-90,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: https://t.co/SRoPO8T9Bn

A noticeably cooler and wetter weather pattern will take shape this week with daily chances for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Below-normal systemwide temperatures are expected as a result, before a drier and warmer outlook returns for the upcoming weekend. ERCOT is expecting moderate to high demand with peaks in the upper-60,000- to lower-80,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: https://t.co/Zx9vGjxCcw

Temperatures will remain consistently hot with daytime highs in the mid- to upper 90s. System-wide high temperatures may increase by a few degrees into the second half of the week, when a few low 100s will be possible across parts of Far North and West Texas in particular. Relatively isolated storm chances exist through Tuesday, before better rain chances possibly develop into the upcoming weekend. ERCOT is expecting high demand with peaks in the lower- to mid-80,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: https://t.co/hsyNiVxOso
