Wednesday forecast

Wednesday forecast From Space City Weather Sizzling heat (with a bit of dry air) for a bit longer before rain chances increase this weekend. Overall pattern -High pressure will hold sway for another day or two before giving way to increasing moisture levels from the Gulf. With the ridge breaking down, the Houston region will be more open to showers this weekend, although we don't anticipate anything too calamitous. As we get later into August next week, a fairly typical pattern will set in whereby high pressure influences our weather, but there is still the possibility for some afternoon showers and thunderstorms due to the sea breeze.Wednesday -*The high temp at Bush Intercontinental Airport hit 99 degrees on Tuesday, and we are likely to do the same today, and possibly push into triple digits across some parts of the area.
*A surge in air temperatures today will be supported by the influx of somewhat drier air from the west. It's not clear how far this drier air will push into Houston, but we could see some rare dewpoints in the upper 50s today along and west of Interstate 45.
*It's still going to be quite hot, but for areas away from the coast it should feel a little less humid.
*Skies will be sunny, with light westerly winds & lows tonight will drop to around 80 degrees.
