Good morning. We’re experiencing yet one more muggy and heat morning throughout the area, however relaxation assured this would be the final one till early subsequent week. This night, we might want to look ahead to the potential of storms affecting Houston as a chilly entrance strikes into our area, however at this level our concern-o-meter shouldn’t be registering too excessive. However do be cautious of the potential of some robust thunderstorms after darkish. Additionally, this put up will even tackle some questions we’ve been receiving in regards to the potential for a good chilly snap in the course of March.
Thursday
Highs as we speak will attain the low 80s, beneath principally cloudy skies. Maybe essentially the most notable characteristic as we speak shall be pretty robust southerly winds, gusting to about 30 mph. We may even see a number of scattered, mild showers through the daytime, however a capping inversion ought to forestall any important rainfall through the day time. The query is, what occurs when the entrance nears?
We’ll discover out tonight. The entrance ought to attain western areas of Houston, together with Katy, round 8 to 10 pm, the downtown space between 9 pm and 11 pm, and push off the coast by midnight or shortly thereafter, A lot of the area falls below a “slight” likelihood of extreme climate, which incorporates the potential of robust thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. My expectations are that almost all of this extreme climate will cross to the north of the Houston metro space, however we will’t rule out thunderstorms or different inclement climate because the entrance sweeps via.
Should you’re out and about this night, corresponding to attending the rodeo, it is very important maintain climate conscious after the present is over. This shall be a fast-paced entrance. The worst of the storms ought to cross in 15 to half-hour. So if there are storms transferring via, don’t strive operating to your automobile or “making” it. Keep below cowl, and the system will cross rapidly. Lows tonight will drop into the mid-50s.
Friday
This shall be a sunny and breezy day, with highs of round 70 levels. Gusts shall be out of the north at about 20 mph. Lows on Friday night time ought to drop to round 50 levels in Houston, with cooler situations additional inland.
Saturday and Sunday
The weekend seems to be sunny and nice, with highs within the higher 70s each days, and lows Saturday night time within the 50s, and Sunday night time within the 60s. Plan your outside actions with confidence.
Subsequent week
Houston shall be heat and partly cloudy subsequent week via about Wednesday. However after that? Some form of entrance is within the playing cards by round Thursday or so. The fashions have been flopping round a good bit, however we do appear headed towards a lot cooler climate by subsequent weekend. It is because the general air mass over the Central United States shall be turning colder right now, and we’ll need to see how a lot of this colder air works its method south into the Houston area. For now, I’d guess this implies lows within the 40s, however that is still to be seen. Should you’re apprehensive a few freeze, it put the probabilities of this occurring in Houston at 10 % or much less.
