Houston Weather Update
Houston – Things were a little bit warmer Thursday morning and there is a possibility of some scattered showers later on.
Current Weather Conditions
A shift in wind direction has returned muggy air to most areas and will also bring some scattered showers today. Areas north of Houston should stay drier for one more day, but from I-10 southward, showers and a possible isolated storm are possible from late morning through the afternoon.
Late Summer Warmth
With our fall preview coming to an end, the outlook for the next several days looks generally warm and humid with temperatures running a few degrees above average. Look for highs in the mid 90s from Friday through the weekend and beyond with morning lows in the 70s. After today, the chance for showers will remain low and the forecast for Texans tailgating calls for temps in the 90s, then staying in the low 80s after the win.
Tropical Update
The tropics are still remarkably quiet for mid-September, the typical peak of hurricane season. However, there is a pretty impressive tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa today that models are really latching on to. There is a good chance that it will eventually become a tropical storm, or even a hurricane over the next 5 to 7 days. The system is thousands of miles from the Gulf, so no concern at this time. The next name on the list is Gabrielle.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Houston’s weather is expected to be warm and humid for the next several days, with a chance of scattered showers today. The tropics are quiet, but a tropical wave is being monitored for potential development. Texans can expect temperatures in the 90s for the next few days, making it a great time to enjoy outdoor activities. Stay tuned for further updates from Your Gulf Coast Weather Authority.
