Houston has had consecutive days of 97-degree temperatures, and I don’t foresee this heat wave breaking soon. However some relief should eventually arrive in about 10 days time.
Easy forecast. With high pressure anchored in place highs will be in the mid- to upper-90s, and a heat advisory in effect for today may be extended for much of this week. Lows will be around 80 degrees. Skies mostly sunny. Skin mostly sweaty.
We’re in the middle of summer and anyone stepping outside knows it. The official high temperature in Houston reached 96 degrees on Saturday, and we’re in for more of the same hot weather for quite some time.
Yes, you read that right. The forecast for now through next work week is more or less the same as a result of lying under the influence of high pressure. Temperatures will climb into the mid-90s (a bit lower for the coast) and lows will only fall to around 80 degrees (a bit warmer along the coast).Skies will be mostly sunny with near zero rain chances. Some fairly strong winds will blow out of the south for the next few days, coming in from the Gulf.

Happy July! One month of summer is in the books, and as the calendar turns over, the heat will begin to crank up. Yesterday didn’t feel especially awful around Houston, as humidity was fairly low for this time of year. Dewpoints in the low 70s are tolerable. At least you don’t feel like you’re walking into a wall when you step outside. As we go through the holiday weekend, that will probably change.
TODAY & TOMORROW
I expect similar weather today and tomorrow to what we saw on Thursday. Rain chances look low both days, with a morning shower or storm possible near the coast and a couple hit or miss afternoon downpours possible inland. Rain chances never really go beyond 10% or so.
The biggest change will be overnight lows and humidity. While low temps have been generally in the low to mid 70s this week, we’ll see them transition to the mid or upper 70s by Saturday night/Sunday AM. With that, humidity will also increase. Dewpoints in the low 70s will transition to the mid 70s over the weekend, making the low to mid 90s each afternoon feel progressively more unpleasant.
