Houston Weather Update
The Houston area is currently experiencing a taste of fall, but it won’t last long. The fall-like weather will be short-lived, and muggy air will be returning late this week.
Current Weather Conditions
Lows in the morning have fallen into the low and middle 60s, which is the coolest temperature since May 12th. Afternoon highs have reached the upper 80s and low 90s, but the humidity values are quite low, resulting in very dry air for Tuesday.
Muggy Air Returns
The dry air won’t last long, as a southeast wind, also known as a Gulf breeze, will return late Wednesday, bringing humidity with it. By late this week and into the weekend, residents can expect muggy mornings and warmer, more humid days. The extended forecast also looks warm, even into next week.
Tropical Update
In the Atlantic, conditions remain unusually calm, with no significant tropical waves and models that don’t show much happening over the next week. A tropical storm named Kiko will pass well north of Hawaii, with the main threats being large waves and rip currents.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Houston area can expect a return to muggy air late this week, with warm and humid conditions lasting into next week. Residents can enjoy the current dry air while it lasts, but should be prepared for a return to more typical Houston weather soon. The Gulf Coast Weather Authority Team will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates as necessary.
