Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
Good morning. Before we get into the forecast this morning—long story short, we can expect three days of warm conditions before a stronger front moves through on Thursday evening—I wanted to touch on a couple of issues that are playing out in the background of Houston’s weather. Monday’s dust Monday …
Read MoreGood morning. Houston will see a brief reprieve from humidity today and tonight as a weak front moves in, stalls, and then moves back across the region. After this we will be warm through Thursday before a stronger front brings substantially colder and drier air into the region. At this …
Read MoreThere will, frankly, be little change in Houston’s weather during the days ahead until a weak front arrives Sunday night. And even that will provide only a relatively short-lived reprieve from the more humid air we’ve been experiencing. So if you enjoy mild weather, you’re in luck. The other thing …
Read MoreThe story of the day for our region will be winds, as the Texas coast is caught between a fairly strong high pressure system anchored over Cuba and Southern Florida, and a developing low pressure system over the Western United States. Gusts this morning could reach up to 40 mph …
Read MoreHouston’s abnormally toasty weather will continue for the next week, with a fairly stout ridge of high pressure helping to drive a warm southerly flow across the region. The only major forecast questions are: How warm will it get? And, how windy will Wednesday be? Tuesday There is a little …
Read MoreHouston, and much of the southern United States, now face a prolonged warm spell that will likely last for nearly all of the rest of February. We are going to see highs of around 80 degrees for the next week, with fairly sticky dewpoints in the 60s. The other notable …
Read MoreAfter an outbreak of warmer and humid weather Houston will descend back into winter for a few days as a cold front barrels into Houston this morning. As expected, the front has produced only a thin, broken line of showers as it swept through. Any lingering rain will soon end …
Read MoreHere’s the short answer up front: Probably. Barring some kind of an unexpected, freakishly cold front coming through in the next few weeks, we’re done. Now, for a longer answer. Crazier things have happened. Houston’s latest ever recorded freeze came on April 10, 1973. However, the odds are against this. …
Read MoreGood morning. The first of two cold fronts will arrive in Houston today. This first front will be short-lived, and provide only minimal cooling, before a quick warm-up. However, a second front on Wednesday night will drive temperatures back down to the 30s for a few days. The weekend looks …
Read MoreThis week’s weather could be titled, “A Tale of Two Fronts.” The first will be rather weak and inconsequential—except for some rather blustery wind—and the second will bring in substantially colder air. While I don’t think a freeze is in the cards for the Houston metro area later this week, …
