Good morning. Temperatures range from the upper 40s this morning in northern Montgomery County up to the mid-60s right on the coast. In any case, it’s glorious outside.
TODAY through SATURDAY
There honestly isn’t much to say about the forecast. We’re under high pressure, and in the wake of a cold front we’re going to see weather that is hard to beat for May. Highs on Tuesday only climbed into the mid-70s, but with less cold air moving down into Houston we’ll be a bit warmer in the days ahead. But not much.
For the rest of the work week I think we’ll pretty much see lows in the 50s for the northern half of Houston, and lower 60s for areas closer to the coast. High temperatures should remain around 80 degrees through Saturday under mostly sunny skies. Enjoy!
SUNDAY
As moisture begins to return from the Gulf of Mexico by Saturday morning or so we’ll begin to feel more humidity by late Saturday or Sunday morning, when lows won’t feel quite so crisp.
MONDAY and BEYOND
Temperatures will climb back into the mid-80s. As high pressure departs, and moisture returns, the southeast Texas region will open back up to the possibility of rain showers. At this time none of the disturbances next week look too strong, in the sense that we’re only looking at perhaps an inch or so of rain in total. As ever with precipitation forecasts along the Gulf of Mexico, that is subject to change. But it’s not something I’d be concerned about as you’re enjoying what is probably our last really spring-like week for a long, long time in Houston.
Tomorrow I’ll take a look at when we might expect our first 90-degree day of the year.

Eric – I thought it did hit 90 two days last week.
Man, you scared me there. (But we didn’t).
