Houston will face 4 extra heat days earlier than a chilly entrance arrives on Sunday afternoon or night to deliver a semblance of normalcy again to our climate. Till then the key query mark is simply how heat situations will get on Sunday, simply forward of the entrance. Some components of the metro space have an opportunity to hit 90 levels for the primary time in 2023.
Thursday
At present will probably be just like the remainder of the times this week, which is to say we’re beginning off with a damp morning and a few patchy fog in coastal areas. Skies are largely cloudy this morning, however ought to give option to partly sunny skies later this afternoon. Excessive temperatures will attain the mid-80s, with mild southerly winds.
For these venturing out to the Houston Livestock Present and Rodeo, we once more don’t have any issues for the climate outdoors. It will likely be nice this night, with temperatures within the 70s. Winds might gust to about 15 mph. Low temperatures tonight will do their typical factor of late, which suggests they’ll drop to round 70 levels, or barely decrease.
Friday
A (very) weak chilly entrance goes to method our area from the northwest on Friday, and whereas this may deliver storms to the west and northwest of the Houston metro space, I believe these showers will die out earlier than reaching Katy or The Woodlands. This entrance will deliver a smidgen of dry air into the realm, but it surely gained’t have an excessive amount of of a wise impact. The underside line, I believe, is that highs might high out within the low 80s as an alternative of mid-80s, with temperatures Friday evening dropping into the mid-60s. Skies will probably be largely cloudy.
Saturday
Skies will steadily change into partly sunny on Saturday, and this will probably be a heat day with highs within the mid-80s.
Sunday
That is the primary day of 2023 that I’d explicitly say goes to be sizzling. Forward of the following entrance we’re going to see a heat westerly circulate, and this will probably be noticeably with gusty westerly winds. Relying on how a lot sunshine our space sees, excessive temperatures for some inland areas might hit 90 levels. A entrance arrives on Sunday afternoon or night, and this may (lastly?) usher in some cooler and drier air into the area. The entrance’s passage will possible be dry. Lows drop into the higher 50s.
Subsequent week
We’ll see a number of days with partly sunny skies and highs within the 70s, with lows within the 50s subsequent week earlier than a warm-up. Then one other entrance most likely will arrive on Thursday or Thursday evening, and the excellent news is that, for now, this one seems to be like to hold a greater likelihood of rain with it. We’re too far out to parse particulars, however an inch or so of rainfall certain could be welcome after our current heat and dry interval.
