This week's forecast
This week's forecast
This week's forecast I'm a day late! Sorry about that. 😊 *Not much to report: It's August & it's hot. 🔥🔥🔥
*We might get see some showers by late week & weekend as high pressure starts to break down. 🤞 From Space City Weather - 'Peak' summer lasts a few more days before we have some modest hope on the horizon. Eric Berger · Monday, August 24, 2026 6:43 AM 👉IN BRIEF: *In today's post we discuss the very hot week ahead for Houston, but explain why this weekend should offer some slight relief.
*Could we actually see a little rain as well? Maybe.
*And we take a peek into the tropics, where the Atlantic is slowly waking up. *High temperatures in Houston over the last four days have been sizzling: 100, 101, 103, and 101 degrees.
*We are going to continue to flirt with highs of 100 degrees, or just above, for most of this week as high pressure reigns supreme.
*Longtime residents of Houston will know that the period of late August often brings the most torrid weather to our region, and this year is delivering in spades. 
*However, we do have some hope on the horizon.
*No, I'm not talking about a bona fide cold front. It's just too early to have any real hopes for that-check back in a couple of weeks on that score.
*However there is increasing evidence that high pressure will break down somewhat by Friday or so of this week, allowing for more seasonal high temperatures in the mid-90s and a decent chance of rain. But it's going to be scorching until then 🔥 👉 TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY - *Heat continues over the region pushing highs to 100 degrees or a little higher.
*Coastal areas will remain cooler during the daytime, in the mid to upper-90s.
*Skies will be sunny, with humid air.
*Nights will briefly fall into the upper 70s.
*Winds will be fairly calm in the morning, with gusts up to 20 mph from the south-southwest during the afternoon and early evening.
*We might shave 1 or 2 degrees off of daily highs such that, by Thursday, most of Houston is in the upper 90s.
*Sunny skies and plenty of humidity remains. 👉FRIDAY - *Expect highs in the mid to upper 90s on Friday with partly to mostly sunny skies.
*As high pressure breaks down we should see some (fairly weak) disturbances start to rotate through.
*This could bring a modest chance of rain into the region, something like 20 or 30 percent. It's not much, but we've been so bone dry of late anything would be welcome. 👉 SATURDAY and SUNDAY - *The weekend will bring fairly typical weather for late August, with highs generally in the mid 90s and a chance of afternoon showers along the sea breeze.
*If you're planning on outdoor activities you can expect plenty of sunshine, but there will be the possibility of some brief, passing showers. 👉 NEXT WEEK - *Summer is not over, of course, when we reach September.
*For most of next week, at this point, I expect highs in the mid to upper 90s with some slight rain chances.
*So still very warm outside. 👉 Atlantic tropics - Over at the Eyewall, Matt has a good summary of the Atlantic tropics. The Eyewall: theeyewall.com/will- anything-get-going-i n-the-atlantic-this- time-around/ 
*The area of most note is a wave emerging off of Africa today, which has a decent shot of development over the next week.
*Overall this is something we're definitely going to watch given the time of year, but it's not something we're at all concerned about at this point. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 
*We might get see some showers by late week & weekend as high pressure starts to break down. 🤞
