Good morning. It’s far from chilly outdoors, however dewpoints have dropped into the low 60s this morning for a lot of the area, and this dry air feels fairly good. Houston will see a few extra moderately nice, dry-ish days earlier than atmospheric moisture ranges begin to improve, some rain possibilities return to the area. This hotter, late summer season sample ought to maintain on by most of subsequent week.
Tuesday
After beginning out within the higher 60s to decrease 70s this morning, daytime highs will heat into the low 90s beneath sunny skies. Winds shall be typically mild, out of the east, at about 5 mph. This night ought to once more be nice, with temperatures within the 70s and this considerably drier air. In a single day lows will drop into the higher 60s for many of the area, away from the coast, with largely clear skies.
Wednesday
Just about a carbon copy of Tuesday, with even perhaps barely drier air, though I’m undecided this shall be perceptible.
Thursday
This shall be a little bit of a transition day as moisture ranges begin to improve, and with it the potential for a couple of scattered showers close to the coast. Search for largely sunny skies in any other case, with highs within the low 90s. In a single day lows ought to be a couple of levels hotter.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
The weekend forecast has turned a bit extra unsure as the general sample now seems to favor a return to considerably wetter situations. Moisture ranges shall be highest close to the coast, so we’re most likely taking a look at each day rain possibilities within the neighborhood of fifty p.c for areas south of Interstate 10, and 30 p.c or so additional inland. I’m nonetheless anticipating largely sunny skies in any other case, with excessive temperatures within the low 90s. In a single day lows ought to be solidly again into the mid-70s, with loads of humidity, by this weekend. Hopefully we will pin down a extra correct weekend forecast for you by tomorrow.
Subsequent week
Most of subsequent week ought to proceed to convey climate typical of late summer season in Houston, which is to say heat days within the low 90s, and at the very least partly sunny skies. Rain possibilities will persist subsequent week, however I’m not assured in whether or not they’ll be low, or or bit increased than that. The forecast fashions are beginning to trace on the potential for one more chilly entrance about 10 or 11 days from now, however I most likely wouldn’t even write that down in pencil but, not to mention ink.
Tropics
Fourteen years in the past, at the moment, Hurricane Ike made landfall alongside the higher Texas coast. This stays the area’s worst storm surge occasion throughout at the very least the final half century. I bear in mind it distinctly, listening to the winds howl by the skyscraper-lined streets of downtown Houston. Fortunately, the tropics are quiet at the moment.
As I wrote in a devoted hurricane submit on Monday, we’re getting near the top of the Texas hurricane season, however we’re not fairly there but. We’re persevering with to observe a tropical wave within the Atlantic (famous in orange above) that has an opportunity to get into the Gulf of Mexico subsequent week. I believe the prospect that this technique impacts Texas is somewhat low, however given the time of yr we’ll be watching it carefully regardless.
