October 4, 2017 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners: 

We have been getting some much needed rain throughout the RGV and it has lowered the temperature a good ten degrees.  They are predicted rain for the next 2 days so we can only hope they are right.  

June 15, 2017 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners: 

It has been extremely hot in the RGV with temperatures hovering around triple digits and the humidity is sky high.  This morning the temperature at 6:30 am was 81* and the humidity was at 72%.  If you must be outside, be careful, stay hydrated and cover up as much as possible.  

May 12, 2017 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners: 

Temperatures and humidity have been way there making it feel like the middle of summer for the last month.  They are predicting some rain triggered by a cold front that should be making it’s way to the Valley tonight and into tomorrow leaving beautiful weather conditions for Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mom’s out there! 

May 4, 2017 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners:

Last night a cold front came barreling through the RGV sparking thunderstorms, rain and some hail. Unfortunately, the whole thing was over so fast that by morning you could hardly tell it rained except for the cooler temperatures and lower humidity. The weather prognosticators are saying that it will be back to the mid 90’s today and possibly hitting the triple digit mark in Western Hidalgo and Starr Counties.

April 24, 2017 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners: 

This has been one of the hottest Spring’s in the RGV for some time. We have been setting new High Temperature records all month. Luckily, a Blue Texas Northern blew through Saturday night and dropped the night time temperatures down into the 50’s, at least for a couple of days. The weather prognosticators have forecasted that the RGV will be back in the mid 90’s by Tuesday.
