Good morning. A few areas saw rainfall on Monday—Cypress was one big winner near Houston with nearly 1 inch of rain—but now the atmosphere is pretty much going to lock down for awhile. As high pressure builds to our west, it will prevent rising air, trapping moist, humid, and very hot conditions at the surface. […]

I feel like Houston is standing on the edge of the abyss this morning. We’ve got one more day of partly sunny weather with a moderate chance of rain before high pressure settles in. And by settle in, I mean builds over the region and dominates our weather in one of those classic summertime ridges […]

For the first time in more than a week, Houston’s radar is filling up with light to moderate rain showers this morning. The region will see a reasonable chance of rain today and Tuesday before decreasing chances by mid-week. After that the heat will return in force, with highs in the upper 90s to 100 […]

Here comes the heat. With high pressure in the vicinity of Houston, we’re heading into a classic heat pattern for the region during summer. It can get hotter than this—I don’t think the region will see much 100-degree weather this time—but the combination of heat and humidity will be stultifying during the midday hours. Thursday […]

June ended up with an average temperature of 82.5 degrees—which is bang on the normal temperature for Bush Intercontinental Airport over the last three decades. Thanks to persistent cloud cover and days of rain, the second half of the month was generally cooler after a hot start to the month. That may make the onset […]

Good morning. There are few surprises in today’s forecast, as Houston is likely to remain hot and humid through the rest of the week. The trend will be toward hotter and sunnier weather throughout the work week, with early July feeling a lot like July should feel. A few showers may crop up on Independence […]

After the unsettled nature of last week’s weather—from heavy rains to heavy dust—this week holds less intrigue. We’ll see plenty of heat and especially humidity, but likely little rain at least until next weekend. Monday Mostly cloudy skies this morning should give way to partly sunny conditions later today. Highs will reach about 90 degrees […]

Good evening. We wanted to apprise you of the latest we have for the overnight forecast. Some storms remain to the west and north of Houston as of 6pm CT, but these should wind down during the next couple of hours. Unlike the previous two nights, as of now we do not anticipate any widespread […]

Good morning. Very heavy rains have fallen overnight along a nearly stationary boundary that is anchored across west Houston. As a result, as much as 5 to 7 inches of rainfall have come down near Katy and the Addicks and Barker reservoirs. A flash flood warning is in effect for these areas through 10 a.m. […]

Good morning. Houston’s wet pattern will continue through the work week, although the most organized heavy rainfall should wind down over the course of this morning after a storm system pushes through the area. Please take care if you have cause to be out and about this morning before conditions should improve later today. Wednesday […]
