Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
Good morning. The Houston region saw its first real taste of rainfall in two weeks early on Monday as a line of storms pushed from north to south through the area. It was hit or miss in the metro area, with some parts of the region picking up as much as 1.5 inches, and others […]
Read MoreOver the last week a pair of non-consequential tropical systems have formed over the Atlantic—Tropical Storm Josephine, which is weakening at sea, and Kyle, which has already dissipated. However as a more favorable pattern for rising air moves into the deep Atlantic tropics we can expect to see storms firing up in the main development […]
Read MoreOur forecast is going to be very hot, with heat advisories likely needed through the weekend. Before jumping into the details, such as they are, I wanted to say a word about Hurricane Ike. We are, amazingly, coming up on the 12th anniversary of Hurricane Ike. If you don’t remember, the storm hit Houston fairly […]
Read MoreGood morning. Temperatures will be hot enough today that the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for now through 7pm CT.

As you may recall, this is the second year of this promotion that Reliant has offered to readers of Space City Weather.

Read MoreGood morning and welcome to a new week. There remains little exciting to say about our region’s weather as this week will feel like Groundhog Day, with conditions each day more or less like the last. Sure, a few areas may see a stray shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon hours, but for the most […]
Read MoreGood morning. The ongoing weather forecast remains more or less the same, with hot, but not too hot weather, and the potential for isolated to scattered rain showers most days. This is basically what August is like when there is no dominant ridge of high pressure overhead, or a low pressure system moving in from […]
Read MoreOn Wednesday, the longest-running seasonal forecast program, based at Colorado State University, issued an updated outlook for the remainder of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. In a word, it’s going to be active. The forecasters are predicting a remarkable 15 more named storms this year, along with 10 additional hurricanes. This is very busy. The […]
Read MoreHouston will see fairly typical August weather for the next week, which is not entirely bad news. This is the time of year when temperatures can soar into the triple digits—but the absence of a strong high pressure system will keep our highs a little bit more moderate.
