This week's forecast

This week's forecast Well - Space City seems very unbothered by Hurricane Beryl and it's confidence that it will stay well south of Texas. I wholeheartedly follow Space City & their forecasts so I am pleased to read their take on it. Still, I'm sure it's something they will continue to watch, as we all will. ...........Houston Enters July On A Hot Streak, Also We're Not Really Concerned About Hurricane Beryl And TexasEric Berger · Monday, July 1, 2024 6:51 AMIn brief:
*As July begins we take a look back at June's rain and temperatures, and look ahead to a hot week to start the month.
*Rain chances will be on the low side this week, but some isolated showers and thunderstorms will nonetheless be possible.
*Hurricane Beryl should remain in the southern Gulf of Mexico this weekend, so it's unlikely to affect our area.MONDAY*If you've been enjoying our hot and sunny weather, you're in luck.
*This pattern should persist for much of this week. In truth, there's not a whole lot to forecast when high pressure is more or less in control of our weather pattern.
*High temperatures today will reach the upper 90s, with plenty of sunshine and humidity.
*Winds will be light, generally from the south, at 5 mph or so.*There is a bit of intrigue when it comes to the possibility of some rain showers late this afternoon as a weak boundary pushes into the area.
*This may generate some isolated showers and thunderstorms across parts of Houston, perhaps near downtown.
*Overall rain chances today are probably on the order of 10 to 20 percent for most locations.
*Lows tonight will be warm, perhaps dropping only to about 80 degrees.TUESDAY*A day similar to Monday, with the possible exception of highs being a degree or two cooler.
*The setup for isolated showers is similar.WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY*The overall pattern remains the same, although with high pressure slightly relinquishing its grip we could see highs only in the mid-90s rather than the upper-90s.
*Ongoing rain chances are similar in terms of the afternoons and early evenings possibly seeing a few isolated showers and thunderstorms.
*If you're wondering about July Fourth fireworks, everything looks fine at this point.SATURDAY AND SUNDAY*At this point it appears that high pressure may back off still a bit further this weekend.
*If so, that may increase daily rain chances a bit, to perhaps 30 percent. It may also bring daytime highs down into the low- to mid-90s range, so more in line with temperatures more typical for early July. We'll see.TROPICS*We're continuing to closely watch the evolution of Hurricane Beryl, but at this time there are no indications that it will move into the central Gulf of Mexico and threaten the upper Texas coast.
*The most likely scenario at this time is, rather, that it tracks across the Yucatan Peninsula and into the Bay of Campeche.
*After that time the odds that it moves north toward Texas are increasingly low. *So, for the greater Houston area, nothing much to worry about at this time.*Also of note, Tropical Storm Chris formed last night in the Southern Gulf of Mexico, but it is already moving into Mexico near Tampico, and is not a concern for the United States. (Heavy rainfall, however, is likely in central Mexico). For full coverage of tropical activity, be sure and check out The Eyewall.
