Good morning. Although rain chances will never be too far away this week, neither will we have rain every day. Instead, we’ll see a mix of sunshine and clouds, with highs generally in the low 90s. When you combine this with a lack of tropical activity, I count that as a “win” for Houston’s weather in mid-July when things can sometimes get nasty hot or floody.
Monday
With that said, some storms will be possible today, especially north of Interstate 10 as a slow moving line of showers sags southward. Most modeling guidance suggests these storms will weaken as they move into Liberty and Montgomery counties, and progress toward Houston this morning. Otherwise, expect partly sunny skies with highs in the low 90s with light winds. Lows tonight should be in the mid- to upper-70s for most areas, with rain chances falling back to zero.
Tuesday and Wednesday
These will be a pair of mostly sunny days for Houston, with highs generally in the low 90s. Winds will be relatively light at the surface, but a southeasterly flow in the mid-levels of the atmosphere will ensure there is plenty of moisture. This means that we may seem scattered showers during the afternoon hours, triggered by the sea breeze moving inland from the Gulf of Mexico. Any developing storms should be fairly short lived.
Thursday and Friday
For now I expect the overall pattern of days in the low 90s to continue, with a smattering of afternoon showers. There are some hints in the models that we may see some slightly better storm chances on Friday afternoon and evening, but this is not something I feel overly confident in predicting, so we’ll watch it for you.
Saturday and Sunday
We’ll carry highs in the low to mid-90s over into the weekend, with more afternoon shower chances due to the sea breeze. The weekend forecast is subject to change, of course, but right now it should bring fairly typical summertime weather to Houston. By now you know the drill for what that means—heat, humidity, and mosquitoes.
No rain this weekend please; I’m attempting to have a decent birthday since I spent my 50th on my couch (thanks, Covid). Here’s to some decent weather and thanks again for all you guys do!! 😀
Is the Saharan dust mixing with Houston atmosphere?
In the winter, when the West Coast is hot and dry, the Eastern half of the US, including us, gets really frozen. What do the current patterns say about this coming winter?
Winter? LOL, we haven’t even hit peak summer.
Did the possibility of a Space City Weather app go away?
I’ve got the app on my phone right now. This doesn’t mean they’re not still posting to the site.
“When you combine this with a lack of tropical activity, I count that as a “win” for Houston’s weather in mid-July when things can sometimes get nasty hot or floody.” Is “floody” an official term now lol
It’s a little more familiar than “floodesque”
Are we going to experience a heatwave sometime this summer, maybe in August or beginning of September, we’ve been below normal temperatures so far this summer very odd
Is there any information on the Saharan Dust?
Keep those more moderate temperatures coming! We had a very nice downpour this morning in The Woodlands, and the humidity also dropped for awhile just before the storm
Loving this summer!!! The rain and milder temps are amazing!!! Houston truely is a tropical paradise!! I’m more a fan of summer here than winter just based off of my 1 year experience here!!
Boy, have you got a lot to learn. Take it from someone whos been here 40+ years.
Sure got it wrong today. It was wet and rainy all afternoon in the woodlands. Cloudy all evening
