Good morning. That is Eric, and I’m again from an prolonged weekend at a household reunion in southeastern Missouri. I have to say that I loved someday with a cool morning final Friday, with a every day excessive within the low 80s, earlier than excessive strain pushed temperatures there into the higher 90s. So my break from the warmth was short-lived, however nonetheless higher than nothing. As for Houston’s climate, effectively, not a lot has modified since I left city almost per week in the past. And never a lot goes to alter within the subsequent week. After that? Perhaps. However simply perhaps.
Wednesday
Excessive strain anchored over the southeastern United States will nonetheless be the driving issue for our climate for awhile, however excessive temperatures immediately ought to “solely” get into the mid-90s for a lot of the area. Skies shall be principally sunny, with gentle southerly winds at 5 to 10 mph. In a single day lows gained’t fall a lot beneath 80 levels, in any respect, for inland areas. The coast will stay above 80 levels.
Thursday and Friday
A lot of the Houston area has but to report even a scintilla of rainfall through the month of June and that’s unlikely to alter on Thursday and Friday. Nonetheless, as atmospheric moisture ranges bounce a bit, there can have a couple of 20 % likelihood of rain showers every day, primarily through the afternoon hours because of the sea breeze. I feel there’s even a slight likelihood that just a few of those showers will pulse up and, nevertheless briefly, drop some heavier rain for a only a few fortunate areas. Will you win the rainfall lottery? In any other case, anticipate highs within the mid- to upper-90s on each days with principally sunny skies.
Saturday and Sunday
Each weekend days shall be sunny and sizzling, with temperatures within the higher 90s. If you’re out and about celebrating Juneteenth on Sunday, please do take precautions each from the warmth and sunshine. We’re very almost on the longest day of the yr (June 21), which suggests the Solar is the very best within the sky. As a matter of truth, between 1 and a couple of pm through the afternoon, the Solar reaches an altitude of 84 %, that means these photo voltaic rays are passing by means of nearly no environment earlier than they attain your pores and skin. (When you’re curious, the Solar’s peak altitude through the shortest winter day in Houston is simply 37 %).
Subsequent week
The general sample doesn’t change a lot through the first half of subsequent week, I’m afraid. However after that time there may be the potential for a rise moisture to maneuver in from the Gulf of Mexico, and probably elevate the possibilities of rain from 0 to one thing measurable. Temperatures nonetheless look very popular, with highs within the higher 90s probably.
