So great to have @MarcMullins1 on the anchor desk in the evenings! Everyone give Marc a warm welcome to Central Texas! See y’all in a bit on KVUE News at 10!

Everyday in July so far has been at or cooler than average. Currently, we are at the 11th coolest July on record. We have yet to reach 100° in July. If we get through July w/ out breaking 100° that would be the first time since 2010. In 2010, we also had no 100° heat in June.

And the drought continues to improve!! Here's a look at this week to last week's drought monitor. 2 weeks ago, there was "Exceptional" drought in a good chunk of Gillespie Co., Now? Gillespie Co. is drought free, with just some spots featuring abnormally dry conditions.

Lake Travis has now risen over 35 ft since the beginning of July and is 87% full.

A sight for sore eyes: NO RAIN in our Austin 7-day forecast. 🌞 Friday could bring a few showers to our Coastal Plains counties, but the Hill Country and Austin metro are getting a well-deserved and very needed break from the rain for at least the next week. 🙌
