Monday was a warm one. Houston’s official weather station, at Bush Intercontinental Airport, came within 1 degree of tying its all time record by reaching 87 degrees. Hobby Airport hits 88 degrees, and broke its all-time record. Hope you stayed cool.
TODAY
We’ll be a little cooler today because the humidity is coming up some, so highs probably will only reach the middle 80s under partly sunny skies. It will still be warm for mid-March, and we won’t cool down that much as we drop into the mid-60s tonight.
WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY
A weak cool front will approach the area tonight but likely not push all the way through. This will keep temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday to around 80 degrees, and allow for the slight possibility of showers and thunderstorms. Lows will still be pretty warm, in the low 60s.
FRIDAY and SATURDAY
There’s a stronger cold front coming to Houston but it’s not clear when it will arrive. This system will bring a good chance of rain to the region, but when the rain comes is dependent upon the timing of that front. So we could see some widespread showers beginning Friday during the day, or perhaps not well into the night. All the same, accumulations should not be more than 0.5 to 1 inch.
At some point Saturday, during the morning or afternoon depending on the timing of the front, we’ll begin to see some clearing as the front moves off the coast. Morning lows should be around 50 degrees and highs near 70.
SUNDAY and MONDAY
The beginning of next week looks great, with a couple of sunny, 70-degree days. Something to look forward to!

It’s March 15 and I think this has been an atypical El Niño. Do you have any hints on what kind of atmospheric conditions that will lead to a wet or dry summer???
