Houston now has formally recorded 20 100-degree days this yr, which is sufficient to tie us for fourth all-time for any calendar yr. The dangerous information is that we’re going to see yet one more day with widespread triple-digit temperatures throughout the area in the present day. The excellent news is that this can be the final one for at the least a number of days with reduction on the horizon.
Thursday
It is going to be one other scorcher as excessive stress drives inland temperatures above 100 levels, with largely sunny skies. Winds can be out of the south at about 10 mph, with increased gusts. Like on Wednesday, we’ll see some scattered showers and thunderstorms fireplace up alongside the ocean breeze, however general likelihood is solely about 10 or 20 p.c. In a single day lows will once more battle to drop under 80 levels.
Friday
As excessive stress retreats, an upper-level low stress system will assist usher in a surge a tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. It will result in partly to largely cloudy skies, and bump up rain possibilities for areas which might be both east of Interstate 45, alongside the coast, or each. We’re speaking a few 60 or 70 p.c probability of rain for these areas, with lesser possibilities additional inland and westward. Total accumulations received’t be above a couple of tenths of an inch for many areas, however some areas ought to see bullseyes of 1 to 2 inches. Highs can be dependent upon clouds and rain, however ought to maintain within the low-90s for a lot of the world.
Saturday and Sunday
Each weekend days ought to see highs within the low- to mid-90s, with largely sunny skies. Rain possibilities will stay elevated for coastal areas, particularly on Saturday. However we’re not something approaching a washout as showers can be hit and miss, and may transfer by means of rapidly.
Subsequent week
This must be, dare I say it, a good week for August? For essentially the most half we’re going to see excessive temperatures within the low- to mid-90s, and the most definitely final result is that prime stress doesn’t construct again over the area. Reasonably, we should always see sufficient moisture for at the least a 30 p.c, if not increased, probability of rain every day. For August, man, I’ll take it.
