An upper-level ridge of high pressure is building yet again over the southern plains, this time centered over OK and N TX where surface air temperatures will reach 108-113 degrees over the next few days. Locally SE TX is sitting at the base of the ridge and we will “only” see actual air temperatures in the low 100’s however heat index values will reach 107-112 during the afternoon hours which is good enough for another heat advisory that starts tomorrow and will likely last much of the week.

3 years ago By Rae Drady
One of the early agenda items during the July 11 Austin County Commissioners Court meeting was a budget workshop, in which the commissioners heard a few requests regarding salaries and budgets from various departments. Austin County Tax Assessor-Collector and Election Official Kim Rinn requested a dedicated full-time election staff position be added to the budget for her department, at the maximum rate of $25 per hour. She stated that the wage exceeds what the county clerical staff members are currently earning, adding, “I did that simply for the matter that I think you guys need to take a good look at all of your clerical staff. I know what this position is worth, and that’s why I put the number on it that I did. This position is extremely important to our county, our cities, and our schools.”
