Actually it depends on where in Texas you are. Areas along the Gulf Coast, with its ready source of evaporating water, are often quite humid. In general, the prevailing humidity drops and one moves westward across the state. In western sections, there is no body of water nearby, and the air that moves into the region has traveled long distances over the continent and not had any large source of water it can tap. In addition, the air is often moving down out of mountainous regions, which warms the air, further drying it out.
Sometimes the boundary between a drier and a more humid air mass can be quite sharp, and thunderstorms (frequently severe) commonly form along what is called a "dry line" in the western part of the state and move eastward toward the middle of Texas.

What is a high pressure center of dry air called?
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
Is a high pressure center characterized as cool dry air or warm dry air?
Cool dry Air
When is air pressure usually highest?
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
Increasing air pressure indicates what types of air is moving into your area?
Cold, dry air
What is Sinking air dry weather few clouds?
high pressure.
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has?
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has a higher humidity. In general, air pressure is the sum of the individual pressures of gases present in the air. Dry air lacks any water vapor pressure in the air. Therefore, any air with a humidity above 0% has a higher pressure than dry air.
What is high - pressure centers of dry air?
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
What is a high pressure center of dry air called?
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
Is a high pressure center characterized as cool dry air or warm dry air?
Cool dry Air
Which air pressure system is generally associated with cool dry air?
high pressure
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has What?
devin in it
When is air pressure usually highest?
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
Are high- pressure centers of dry air?
An anticyclone
What type of air mass is in Texas in the summer?
dry and warm
Increasing air pressure indicates what types of air is moving into your area?
Cold, dry air
Increasing air pressure indicates what types of air is moving in your area?
Increasing air pressure usually indicates the presence of descending air, which is associated with fair weather conditions. Conversely, decreasing air pressure typically indicates the presence of rising air, which can lead to the formation of clouds and potentially precipitation.
What ar high pressure centers of dry air?
An anticyclone
