Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
Well, I was hopeful that maybe we could identify a period over the next several days that didn’t look unsettled. While it isn’t going to rain everywhere the entire weekend, the chance of rain is going to be higher than usual everywhere from tonight through Tuesday or Wednesday of next …
Read MoreWelcome to another edition of our weekly tropical outlook. The last two hurricane seasons have been full of many quick developing, lower-end storms. Some folks deride the National Hurricane Center for “wasting time” naming these things, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, whether bloated, …
Read MoreWe’re starting the day just a tiny bit less humid than yesterday. It has sure felt like summer the back half of this week. The humidity will remain high, but temperatures are going to gradually step back a bit as rain chances kick back up later in the weekend. Friday …
Read MoreLike we did in 2020, Eric and I are pleased to bring back the “Eye on the Tropics” series to Space City Weather. Each week, normally on Tuesday afternoons, either myself or Eric will write a more detailed post specific to tropical weather in the Atlantic. This allows us to …

For Hobby Airport, the last 3 afternoons have tied for the 5th hottest 3-day stretch of high temperatures this early in the season (trailing several 3-day periods from 1998 and 2011, both notoriously hot Houston summers). For Houston …
Read MoreHouston summers are notably hot and humid. Many of us hate it, but it’s almost a badge of honor of sorts for us, right? Anyway, Hobby hit 100° yesterday and Bush hit 99° as well. For Hobby, that’s the third earliest date since 1930 that we’ve hit the century mark …
Read MoreGood Sunday morning to you. As promised, we are here with an update on the tropics, as we watch the potential for development in the Gulf this week. Quick Houston weather update I just want to lead with a quick update on our near-term weather here in Houston. It hit …
Read MoreThis week has been a good week to dry out a bit. And we have needed that badly. Today should be our fourth or fifth straight mostly dry day, something we haven’t been able to string together since basically early May. As we go through the weekend, most of us …
Read MoreGood morning. It was quite a wet afternoon and evening on Thursday, though outside of a few areas of localized flooding, the rain didn’t cause too much heartburn. Except in Deer Park, where it looks like a microburst (strong, straight-line winds) inflicted some damage in the area around the high …
