The last vestiges of drier air will move out of the region today, as a more southerly flow reestablishes control over the region’s weather. This is to be expected in October, of course, as Houston is caught between the warmth of the Gulf of Mexico, and periodic cool fronts arrive to bring relief from the humidity. During this work week the humidity will win.
Today through Thursday
Although moisture will return to the area, we’re not going to see the kind of conditions that promote rising air and therefore widespread showers and thunderstorms. While I expect to see some scattered storms, with slightly better chances along the coast, I wouldn’t count on much rain this week (Certainly less than 1 inch, and probably no rain for a lot of the metro area). That is too bad, because a lot of lawns need it. As for temperatures, we’re looking at highs around 90 degrees, with sticky lows in the mid-70s. Not particularly pleasant, but at least these temperatures will be transient.
