Houston simply skilled a wild weekend of climate.
On Saturday our area set file excessive temperatures, with 81 levels breaking town’s earlier file by 2 levels, and loads of sultry humidity. Additionally, the mosquitoes in my yard had been a number of the worst I can ever recall within the Houston area, and I lived via Tropical Storm Allison. Not one thing I anticipated to see in January.
The storms on Saturday night time had been, frankly, extra intense than anticipated. They introduced heavy rains—whereas most of Houston noticed 1 to 2 inches, just a few pockets of the metro space noticed as a lot as 5 inches—together with very energetic lightning and hail. There was even a funnel cloud that prompted twister warnings.
After which issues cleared out on Sunday morning. By the afternoon situations had been a number of the nicest we are going to see all yr. In the event you had been outdoors yesterday afternoon, you already know. Highs reached about 70 levels, with sunny skies, dry air, and lightweight northerly winds.
The excellent news is that we’ve bought extra nice climate on the way in which for this week.
Monday
Lows have bottomed out close to 50 levels this morning, and whereas there are some clouds I count on principally sunny situations later immediately. Accordingly, excessive temperatures ought to attain the mid- to upper-60s with gentle easterly winds. Rain likelihood is about 10 %. Low temperatures on Monday night time will likely be just a few levels hotter, maybe dropping into the low 50s for a lot of the metro space.
Tuesday
As winds flip southerly, search for a partly sunny day on Tuesday with highs within the low 70s and rising humidity ranges. Low temperatures on Tuesday night time will solely drop into the low 60s, with barely cooler situation additional inland.
Wednesday
This would be the warmest day of the week, with partly sunny skies and highs within the higher 70s with probably just a few readings of 80 levels across the metropolis. Wednesday night time will likely be heat, with some scattered showers attainable late Wednesday night time forward of the subsequent entrance.
Thursday
The aforementioned entrance arrives Thursday morning, and it doesn’t appear to be there will likely be a line of storms with this one. Nevertheless, after the entrance’s passage we are going to see brisk northerly winds, and consequently the area will likely be colder for just a few days in its wake. Search for sunny skies and highs within the mid-60s on Thursday, with temperatures dropping into the 40s Thursday night time.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
Friday and Saturday will likely be clear and chilly, with highs within the mid-60s. Temperatures will backside out on Saturday morning, probably reaching the higher 30s for inland areas, with most of Houston round 40 levels or a contact hotter.
In the event you’re operating the Houston Marathon on Sunday morning, the onshore circulate will most likely have returned. So whereas begin line temperatures could also be within the neighborhood of fifty levels, the world will probably heat into the low 70s through the afternoon. Some uncertainty stays this far out, after all, however I really feel fairly assured in warming situations, in addition to very low to non-existent rain probabilities.
Subsequent week
It seems like the subsequent entrance will arrive a while on Monday, or so, and it will convey the area’s subsequent actual probability of rainfall. The general particulars are fuzzy, however I’d guess that almost all of subsequent week brings highs within the 70s and lows within the 50s.
