Houston Weather Forecast
A moisture plume is moving across Florida and will start to arrive at the Texas coast today, adding to the scattered storms expected in the afternoon. Temperature highs will reach the low to mid-90s.
Morning Outlook
Monday morning starts off partly cloudy, but will soon turn hot and humid with scattered storms mainly in the afternoon. This typical June heat and humidity will remain in place all week, with daily highs ranging from 90 to 95 degrees.
Hot, Humid, and Showery Conditions
The combination of heat and humidity will make the weather feel oppressive, with a plume of moisture being steered in the direction of Houston underneath a major "heat dome" over the East Coast of the country. This plume should provide conditions for scattered showers and storms today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, with a few potentially being briefly heavy.
Record-Breaking Heat Across the Country
A heat dome to the north, which is steering rain in Houston’s direction, is going to bring extreme heat for cities like Washington, D.C., Philly, New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Chicago. Record highs are possible, and heat index values will be dangerous, with the National Weather Service in Washington warning that the heat index could hit 110 degrees there today.
Area of Interest in the Atlantic
A small area of low pressure in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean could spin up into a tropical depression or storm, or possibly a sub-tropical storm, over the next 48 hours or so. However, this system will have no effects on the US, and the first name on the list this year is Andrea.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Houston can expect a hot and humid Monday with scattered storms in the afternoon, while other parts of the country experience record-breaking heat. The area of low pressure in the Atlantic is not a threat to the US, and the heat dome over the East Coast will continue to bring extreme heat to several major cities.
