Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
This is a fairly long post that we’ve broken into two parts. First up in a look at what to expect for Texas, for the rest of September, when it comes to hurricane season. The TL;DR there is that things look pretty good, but we’ve still got a few weeks …
Read MoreGood morning. After parts of the Houston region received a decent soaking on Labor Day, the region has one more passable chance of rainfall today before the high heat returns through the weekend. And after that? Well, after that I think we’re done with 100-degree temperatures for awhile, and perhaps …
Read MoreGood morning and happy Labor Day. In honor of the holiday, this will be a fairly short post. After slight rain chances on Saturday and Sunday fizzled out, today offers our best hope of meaningful since July. The setup is pretty good, with the combination of ample moisture, daytime heating, …

Read MoreToday is August 29. There are just three days left in the month that I consider to be the worst of the year in Houston, weatherwise. August is consistently the hottest, most humid, and often the month with the worst drought conditions of the year in our region. That has …
Read MoreMaybe. The very worst of it is, at least. But first, let’s recap the story of this summer so far. From mid-June onward, Houston has recorded some of the very hottest temperatures on record, with July ranking as the city second warmest July (behind only July 2022), and this August …
Read MoreGood afternoon. As expected, it’s an absolute burner out there today. Houston’s official weather station at Bush Intercontinental Airport has already reached 108 degrees as of 4 pm CT, which is 1 degree short of the city’s all-time heat record of 109 degrees.
