Conditions this morning are spectacular across Houston, with temperatures in the 60s for most locations. Cleveland and Conroe hit the upper 50s! Dewpoints at many locations on Wednesday dipped below 50 degrees, a real rarity for June. Happily, this pattern should be with us through most of the weekend before humidity levels really start to stack up again beginning next week. After that, plenty of heat is on the way as well, with sunny skies.
Thursday
Expect sunny conditions with highs in the low 90s. A light wind from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph will keep the air dry, and help nighttime temperatures cool again into the upper 60s for most areas.
Friday and Saturday
These days will be similar to Thursday, with mostly sunny skies, and highs in the low 90s. Winds will remain from the northeast. Lows should reach the 60s for inland areas.
Sunday
The second half of the weekend should be slightly warmer, with a little more humidity. Expect sunny skies with highs in the mid-90s. Nighttime temperatures will creep back above 70 degrees for most locations.
Monday and beyond
Winds will return to come from offshore by Monday, and you know what that means. Temperatures will rise back into at least the mid-90s with heat indices likely in the 100s due to the humidity. We’ll be back to very hot, summer-like conditions in Houston. High pressure should dampen rain chances—had to use that word because it’s the only wet stuff in the forecast for next week—until at least Friday or Saturday. We should see mostly sunny skies until then, as well.
Man, that’s a change – Matt has said earlier this week that there wasn’t a DROP of rain in EURO for next 10 days!
@Bill Martin
What’s the change from what Matt said earlier? Eric is saying that the high pressure will prevent/lessen/dampen the chance of rain through the end of next week.
