Weather update - Thurs. Afternoon The Houston area has had a wet week, and by and large this has been beneficial for the region before the onset of summer and the lurking potential for drought. We have a final chance late Thursday night and early tomorrow (Friday) morning as a weak front moves into the area, providing a spark for showers. After that we'll see June-like weather as June begins. THURSDAY & FRIDAY -- *Our weather today will be mostly sunny, with high temperatures this afternoon pushing up to around 90 degrees or a touch higher.
*Winds, generally, will be light. (If you like to go bike riding in the evening, this will be especially noticeable).
*I think it's possible that we will see some isolated to scattered showers this afternoon, but for the most part the region should be rain-free.
*Lows tonight will be muggy, in the upper-70s for most locations.
🚨 On Thursday night, a front will be pushing through Central Texas, and we could see a fairly strong line of showers and thunderstorms along the I-35 corridor advancing toward the Houston area.
🚨 As of now, I expect these storms to weaken some as they move down toward Houston.
🚨 Still, I think the region will see a healthy possibility of some showers and thunderstorms on Friday morning, perhaps around sunrise or a bit later. We cannot rule out some hail and damaging winds with these storms, but overall odds seem fairly low. *As the front nears the coast it could stall, and thus for coastal counties we may see some lingering showers in the afternoon (or they may simply remain offshore).
*Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy on Friday, with light winds from the northwest.
*Highs will be around 90 degrees, with lows in the lower 70s.
SATURDAY -- *The front will usher in some briefly drier air. (Our humidity may be a tad lower on Saturday but that's about it)
*Expect highs in the upper 80s with partly to mostly sunny skies.
*Lows on Saturday night may again drop into the lower 70s.
*Rain chances are near zero. SUNDAY -- *Temperatures should reach around 90 degrees, or slightly above, with mostly sunny skies.
*We may see a few scattered showers during the afternoon as humidity levels recover some.
*Lows on Saunday night will drop into the mid-70s. NEXT WEEK -- *Most of next week should see mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 90s.
*We cannot rule out temperatures rising toward the mid-90s by the end of the week.
*However, conditions will feel fairly typical for June in Houston, which is to say hot and humid.
*Rain chances are low each day, but probably non-zero as a few areas may catch a stray shower.
