Good morning! Houston weather will be doing Houston things for the rest of this week, which means you can expect our customary heat and humidity. But given that our weather will neither be exceptionally hot or exceptionally wet in the days ahead, we’ll take that and be happy in August. Tuesday This will be another […]

Well Houston, we’ve made it to the start of August. Historically this is the hottest, steamiest month of the year, when the average high is 95 degrees, and the average low 75. I look at it like this: If you’re in Houston in August and the high temperature is not in the upper 90s or […]

Good morning. After several wetter days for the region, rain chances will slacken some to end the work week before returning again Friday night. As we head into August this weekend, high temperatures will likely remain mostly in the low 90s, which is fairly “pleasant” for what is typically the hottest time of the year […]

We should see a similar pattern today, with […]

Good morning. This post will focus on Tropical Depression 8, because after today it will strongly influence our region’s weather through the weekend. Overall, our forecast for this tropical system has not changed a whole lot from yesterday: We are predicting a Stage 2 flood event for coastal counties (plus southeastern Harris County), and a […]
