Properly, we did not formally hit 100 levels in Houston this weekend, as an alternative topping out with a pair of 99s on Friday and Sunday, sandwiching a 98 in there on Saturday. The warmth will proceed this week, although we’ll doubtless shave at the very least a pair levels off issues. That makes your creator completely satisfied as a result of, conveniently, the Lanza family is coping with a partial AC outage this morning. Yay.
Monday and Tuesday
Extra of the identical, actually. Solar, some clouds, and highs within the mid to higher 90s. Rain probabilities aren’t zero, however they’re awfully shut.
We’re already seeing some Saharan mud within the space, and as we transfer into Tuesday, it’s going to develop into a bit thicker as one other surge of mud arrives in Texas. Which will subside a bit on Wednesday morning earlier than further mud later Wednesday and on Thursday. Search for haze, much less blue sky, and perhaps some extra fascinating sunrises and sunsets. These of you which have respiratory illnesses that flare up when these hit must be prepared for a pair disagreeable days.
Wednesday
Our subsequent cheap probability of at the very least some rainfall comes on Wednesday. In the event you’re selecting cities to your fantasy rainfall battles on Wednesday, I’d in all probability nonetheless skip Houston, however the probability is nearer to 10 p.c than zero. Search for mid-90s. Southerly winds will proceed round 10 to fifteen mph, gusting 20 to 25 mph at instances.
Thursday and Friday
Now we have a little bit of a combined bag to shut the week. For now, I’d count on temperatures to bounce again a level or two, with highs within the higher 90s for probably the most half. Rain probabilities stay at a paltry 10 to perhaps 20 p.c on Friday.
You possibly can see that anticipated rainfall over the following 7 days continues to look abysmal. That mentioned, I do assume a pair areas could do higher than what’s proven right here, so we’ll maintain out hope that a few of us get fortunate.
Past Friday
The weekend will get slightly extra fascinating at the very least. We can have robust excessive strain anchored over Kansas, which is a bit farther north than what we handled this weekend. This can permit for continued sizzling climate, sure, however there could also be some “noise” that may sneak in beneath the excessive.
So I’d say that rain probabilities may very well enhance a bit this weekend into early subsequent week. There are some indicators of a weak “backdoor” chilly entrance making an attempt to slip in from Louisiana on Sunday or Monday due to a fairly robust trough within the environment alongside the East Coast. Whether or not that will get right here or not is TBD, however simply having that within the neighborhood could also be sufficient to set off some scattered downpours at the very least.
Backside line: Rain probabilities look higher this weekend, although nonetheless not particularly excessive, and it’ll stay fairly sizzling.
Tropics
The Nationwide Hurricane Heart is outlining an space within the western Caribbean for attainable growth this week.
Whereas this in all probability is one thing to at the very least monitor, I don’t assume there may be lots of concern about this right here. With that very robust ridge over the Central U.S., that argues that no matter occurs there’ll doubtless keep suppressed to our south. Nonetheless, we are going to regulate issues simply in case.
