Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
Steve Earle has long been one of my favorite music artists. He grew up in San Antonio and seemed to understand a little bit about the ways of Texas rainfall. In particular, I often recall his song “The Rain Came Down,” released in 1987, when I think about Houston’s penchant …
Read MoreGood morning. This is Eric, and I’m back from an extended weekend at a family reunion in southeastern Missouri. I must say that I enjoyed one day with a cool morning last Friday, with a daily high in the low 80s, before high pressure pushed temperatures there into the upper …
Read MoreWe managed 99 degrees officially again on Monday in Houston, but you may have noticed at least a little less humidity around that peak heating. It’s not much but it does help. So does air conditioning. Your author got his back before Monday afternoon, so we’ll call that a win. …
Read MoreWell, we failed to officially hit 100 degrees in Houston this weekend, instead topping out with a pair of 99s on Friday and Sunday, sandwiching a 98 in there on Saturday. The heat will continue this week, though we’ll likely shave at least a couple degrees off things. That makes …
Read MoreSummer will continue to tighten its grip on Houston this weekend with at least 3 straight days of near-100 degree temperatures ahead. On average, our first 100 degree day isn’t until mid-July. Many years don’t see one at all. In fact, our last 100 degree day was August 29, 2020 …
Read MoreGood morning. Houston’s heat wave will continue for the foreseeable future, at least through the early part of next week and possibly longer. Temperatures will peak this weekend, likely reaching 100 degrees for much of the area and setting numerous records. With high pressure dominating, rain chances will continue to …
Read MoreGood morning. Alas, there is no real change in the forecast: Houston is hot, and we’re going to get hotter. There is no real relief in sight, and rain chances are near zero for the next 8 to 10 days. We are entering a bonafide heat wave, with high temperatures …
Read MoreGood morning. Houston’s weather is already hot, and it’s going to get hotter thanks to a strengthening high pressure system. So the big question is when will this pattern break, bringing us some cloudier skies, rain chances, and somewhat cooler daytime temperatures? The answer is: Not any time soon. Tuesday …
Read MoreThe weather this week is fairly straightforward, so we won’t be wasting too much of your time or ours. High pressure is building over the area and it will hold sway through the work week. Temperatures should peak by Friday or Saturday, perhaps in the triple digits, before some slight …
Read MoreGood morning. You probably didn’t notice it, but a cool front has moved into Houston. This will bring some very, very slight relief today—temperatures and dewpoints may be a few degrees lower than they otherwise would be—but it won’t be much. We’ll have some slight rain chances over the next …
