Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
Good morning. Our forecast remains one of ample sunshine and warm weather for Houston, along with the return of humidity by the middle of the week. By next weekend highs could again approach 90 degrees as summer lite returns to the region for a spell. Meanwhile, we’re keeping a tab on the active tropics, but […]
Read MoreJumping in here with a post because we’ve received several questions about the tropics now that potentially two storms may move into the Gulf of Mexico this week. Overall, our thinking has not changed. While the Gulf may may be busy in the coming days, the chance that anything significant tracks into Texas remains quite […]
Read MoreGood morning. Houston’s forecast remains on track, with a succession of mostly sunny days and weak fronts to keep a lid on temperatures and our air reasonably dry. Because there really is nothing else to talk about this morning, we’ll spare a few words on two tropical systems in the Caribbean. The tropics forecast is […]
Read MoreSeptember ended last night, and all told Houston’s Hobby Airport recorded a total of 13.07 inches of rain during the month. This makes it the third wettest September at this location since records were first kept in 1930, the National Weather Service says. Moreover, out of the 1,069 total months of observations, this September ranks […]
Read MoreTemperatures this morning have fallen into the 50s across much of the city—with only the coast holding out at slightly above 60 degrees—and this is the coolest weather Houston has seen since mid-April. This is also as cold as it’s going to get for a while here. But the good news, if you like fall, […]
Read MoreHouston’s temperature officially reached 65 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport this morning shortly after 2 am, and from there it kept on falling. By shortly before sunrise, the low had dropped to 57 degrees. At Hobby Airport, in the midst of the city, the low reached 59 degrees on Tuesday morning. It all feels rather […]
Read MoreThe summer of 2020, which featured the 5th warmest July and 8th warmest August on record, threw two tropical cyclones at Houston, and offered unsparing humidity, died on Monday. It was 123 days old. Summer finally lost its fight with fall’s first truly strong front, which blew into Houston on the morning of September 28th. […]
Read MoreIs anyone ready for Fall Day? We strongly believe it should be a Houston holiday. We declare Fall Day as the first day temperatures are forecast to drop to 65 degrees, or lower. For Houston this probably will occur next Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest. That’s because we’re now pretty confident in a cold […]
Read MoreHouston has had an astonishing month when it comes to tropical cyclones. Four weeks ago we were closely watching Hurricane Laura move along the southern coast of Cuba, toward the Gulf of Mexico. And of course, over the last few days, we dealt with heavy rains from Tropical Storm Beta. So amidst a record-setting tropics […]
Read MoreWell, it’s over. The remains of Beta are crossing Galveston Bay this morning, and with all of the storm’s heaviest precipitation far to its east, we are done. Houston should begin to see some rather fine weather later today and Friday, on the backside of Beta with a northerly flow. And then, while we cannot […]
