Introduction to Houston’s Weather
Houston is experiencing a clear and pleasant Monday morning with cooler temperatures ranging from the 60s to low 70s. As the day progresses, it will become more sunny and warm with highs in the 90s, due to low moisture levels.
Pleasant Pattern Continues
After a brisk morning with lows that dropped into the low 60s in many spots, a mostly sunny sky and light winds will allow afternoon high temperatures to reach the low 90s. Humidity will remain comfortably low, making it a great day to be outdoors.
Warming Pattern Kicks In
The last three days have seen Houston’s high temperature reach around 90 degrees, but this week is expected to be warmer, with highs ranging from 92 to 94 degrees most days. Morning low temperatures will not be as cool, with upper 60s to low 70s expected, compared to the low to mid 60s seen previously.
Tropical Activity in the Atlantic
Two tropical systems, Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda, are currently located east of Florida. Hurricane Humberto has been a major hurricane since Friday and is expected to remain at least a category 3 through today, although it will not threaten the US. Tropical Storm Imelda, on the other hand, could get better organized slowly today and is expected to bring rough waves and rain to coastal areas from Florida to South Carolina.
Impact of Tropical Systems
Both Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda are expected to move away from the U.S. over the next two to three days. It’s worth noting that these names may sound familiar, as six years ago, another Tropical Storm Imelda caused severe flooding in the Houston area, especially east of Houston, with several feet of rain. Similarly, Hurricane Humberto was a noteworthy storm in the Gulf in 2007, making landfall in Port Arthur as a category 1 hurricane.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Houston’s weather is expected to be warm and sunny for the rest of the week, with highs in the 90s and low humidity. While the tropical activity in the Atlantic is not expected to threaten the US, it’s always important to stay informed and up-to-date with the latest weather forecasts and warnings. With the warming pattern kicking in, it’s a great time to enjoy the outdoors and make the most of the pleasant weather.
