Good morning. It’s reasonably heat outdoors for early March, with temperatures within the low 70s throughout a lot of the metro space with 90 % humidity. Regular lows are about 20 levels colder. We’ll have two extra heat days earlier than a entrance strikes into the area late Thursday night. This may deliver an opportunity of storms, after which set the stage for a nice, sunny weekend.
Wednesday
The report excessive temperature for Houston, on March 1, is 84 levels set again in 2017. I feel we now have a wholesome likelihood of besting that as highs perk up into the mid-80s as we speak with sticky dewpoints. Temperatures might be boosted by partly to largely sunny skies, and a south wind at 10 to fifteen mph, with greater gusts.
For those who’re scooting your boots over to the rodeo this night to see Brooks & Dunn, temperatures earlier than the present might be about 80 levels, with growing clouds. Winds might be southerly, at about 10 mph. Submit-show temperatures might be gentle, within the low 70s. So actually, there are not any points to fret about. Low temperatures tonight will solely backside out at 70 levels.
Thursday
Skies might be largely cloudy on Thursday, and this in all probability will restrict excessive temperatures to the low 80s. Based mostly on our newest steerage I don’t have any actual considerations about climate in the course of the daytime. We will’t solely rule out a couple of scattered showers, nevertheless it needs to be nothing vital. Nevertheless by round sundown, the chilly entrance needs to be near the far western fringe of the Houston metro space, and push into the downtown space by round 9 pm to midnight, and be off the coast a few hours later.
So what is going to occur because the entrance passes? My sense is that, for many us, in all probability not an excessive amount of past some gentle to reasonable rain. The potential for extreme climate might be biggest effectively to the north of our area. Areas resembling Dallas, Longview, and Texarkana are at a considerably greater threat for extreme climate, resembling sturdy thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds, and doubtlessly tornadoes. Nearer to Houston, these dangers might be tempered by a capping inversion and fewer favorable dynamics for storms.
The underside line is that on Thursday night we’ll want to observe for thunderstorms in Houston, particularly for areas north of Interstate 10, in addition to different extreme storm threats. This isn’t one thing I’m overly involved about, however the potential is there. A lot of the area must also see some measurable rainfall, maybe one to 2 tenths of an inch. So flooding just isn’t a priority. Lows will drop into the 50s on Thursday evening following the entrance’s passage.
Friday
Search for sunny and breezy climate, with highs within the mid- to higher 60s. Friday evening would be the coldest of the week, possible dropping into the 40s for the area.
Saturday and Sunday
The weekend will see continued largely sunny skies. Each days now look to have excessive temperatures within the higher 70s. Lows on Saturday evening will drop to round 50 levels, however Sunday evening might be hotter because the southerly movement reestablishes itself.
Subsequent week
Most of subsequent week needs to be hotter, with highs within the 80s, earlier than some form of entrance arrives by Thursday or Friday. Days look to be partly cloudy, and nights pretty humid. Rain probabilities look low, for essentially the most half, till the entrance’s arrival.
