Good morning. Houston will remain in a very wet pattern through the weekend, highlighted by the arrival of moisture from a tropical disturbance—possibly a tropical storm by then—on Friday. This should lead to elevated rain chances through the weekend, especially for coastal areas. We’ll discuss this in greater detail below. Wednesday The radar is mostly […]

Good morning. For some areas south of town it has been a wild and woolly night, with near-constant thunder and lightning. Some parts of League City and Dickinson received 4 or more inches of rainfall since around 2 a.m., while areas north and west of Houston have received nary a sprinkle. This fairly wet pattern […]

Good morning! After its first 19 days, this month was on pace to become Houston’s warmest July ever on record, besting 1980 by nearly 1 full degree. However, with cooler weather ahead this week due to clouds and rainfall, we should back off those temperatures somewhat. Indeed, the story for the next week will be […]

As expected this weekend, the Houston region has transitioned from a hot and sunny pattern that dominated the first half of July into one with more clouds, higher rain chances, and slightly cooler temperatures. That trend will continue this week. So why are we posting on a Sunday? Because a tropical system may approach Texas […]

It’s another sticky morning across the Houston region, with lows at 80 degrees or above for most of the region. Normal lows this time of year run about five degrees cooler so the real heat this month has come during the nights. We expect the overnight lows to moderate slightly over the next few days, […]

So it’s been hot in Houston this month, especially the nights. The low temperature this morning at Houston Hobby Airport is likely to fall no lower than 81 degrees. This would make for the tenth day so far in July that the temperature has failed to fall below 80 degrees at that location. This extends […]

Houston recorded its third 100-degree day of the year on Monday, when the high reached 101 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport. Hobby Airport also recorded its warmest day of the year, with the high hitting 99 degrees. Today will be another scorcher, but then our weather should gradually begin to modify toward more “normal” summertime […]

Good morning. Do you remember the brutal summer of 2011? If not, that was the warmest summer on record in Houston—high temperatures failed to reach 100 degrees on exactly one day in August of that year. Most of us who lived through it will probably never forget it. Well, during the last week Houston has […]

By now you know the drill for our upcoming weather: Houston and the rest of Texas will feel the influence of a large area of high pressure over the coming week, with heat likely peaking this weekend. Rain chances are effectively non-existent for at least the next seven days, and likely longer. Thursday and Friday […]
