Completely happy New 12 months! The yr 2023 has began out heat, however a entrance will arrive on Tuesday morning to deliver extra seasonal situations again into the forecast. Forward of the entrance, we now have some considerations concerning the potential for thunderstorms and extreme climate later as we speak and tonight, however total the dynamics aren’t too supportive for this.
Monday
With very heat situations this morning, and lows solely within the low 70s, we’re seeing some sea fog growing once more. This could burn off by mid-morning, leaving us with a cloudy day and highs within the higher 70s. Two issues we’ll be awaiting as we speak: sturdy southerly winds and the potential for thunderstorms. The winds are just about a certainty, because the onshore move responds to excessive stress over the central United States. We’re going to see gusts as much as 30 or 35 mph this afternoon. As for the storms, I’m guessing a capping inversion within the environment will restrict exercise, however you need to be conscious that there’s the potential for some storms to interrupt via the cap later this morning and early afternoon. The potential for rain lingers tonight as lows drop into the higher 60s.
Tuesday
Our second probability for storms will come late tonight and Tuesday morning forward of the particular chilly entrance. A (damaged?) line of showers and thunderstorms ought to push into areas northwest of Houston round 3 to five am, the metro space round 5 to 7 am, and off the coast by round 10 am. For some folks, this would be the first day commuting again to the workplace for awhile, so bear in mind chances are you’ll want some further time as a result of potential for storms if this timing is correct. The skies will clear fairly shortly after the storms, so we will anticipate clear skies and highs within the low 70s on Tuesday afternoon with notably drier air. Lows drop to round 50 levels on Tuesday evening, with colder situations additional inland.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Our climate settles down for the remainder of the week, with principally sunny skies and highs within the mid-60s to 70 levels. Lows will usually be within the mid-40s via Thursday evening earlier than a warm-up heading into the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday
The excessive stress system that may deliver sunny climate in the course of the second half of the work week will slide eastward by Friday, establishing a hotter and probably wetter weekend. At this level I believe Saturday might be principally rain-free, with partly sunny skies and highs within the mid-70s. Sunday has a greater probability of rain, maybe 30 %, and at this level I’d guess we’ll see principally cloudy skies and highs of round 70 levels.
Subsequent week
I’m afraid there’s not a complete lot of certainty within the forecast by round Sunday and past. I believe the probably situation is {that a} chilly entrance strikes into Houston and primarily stalls, establishing a sample of some colder, and wet days. However do I really feel extremely assured about such a situation? I don’t.
Looking forward to the weekend of January 14 to fifteen, a number of folks have requested me about situations for the Houston Marathon. At this level there’s a respectable sign within the international fashions for a barely stronger entrance towards the tip of subsequent week, so I’m pondering we’ll see begin line temperatures within the 40s. The excellent news is that proper now it doesn’t look too heat or too muggy. The unhealthy information is {that a} forecast for 13 days from now’s about as useful as cramps at mile 20.
