Hi: 97° | Lo: 69°
Condition Glyph
The first day of August is shaping up to be a breezy and hot day with a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky. Upper level high pressure will keep our rain chances at bay, and help our afternoon high temperatures to climb into the mid 90s to around 103°. So yes... expect it to be warmer than it has been recently. Winds will blow from the south and southwest at 15 to 25 mph by the afternoon with some gusts upwards of 35-40 mph possible as well.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Retail gasoline prices are up across Texas for a third week in a row.

The weekly AAA Texas survey released Thursday shows regular unleaded rose an average of 8 cents at Texas pumps to $2.65 per gallon. Nationally, the average price rose 7 cents to $2.78 per gallon.

Season price increases are a factor in the increase as refineries switch to summer fuel blends and speculators consider the usual summer increase of driving. But the auto club also cites a slightly stronger economy and a soft dollar for strengthening crude oil prices.

The least expensive gasoline in Texas is in Houston, where the retail prices average $2.60 per gallon - up 9 cents from last week. The most expensive gasoline is, as usual, in El Paso at $2.72 per gallon - up 4 cents from last week.
