Houston Weather Update
Houston is expecting another hot day on Friday, with the temperature likely to reach the mid-90s. However, the city’s weather forecast is being closely monitored due to an area of low pressure in the Gulf that is gaining strength.
Gulf Low Pressure System
The area of low pressure in the southern Gulf has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm, according to the Hurricane Center. This system is expected to move towards the Rio Grande in deep south Texas, potentially bringing heavy storms and flooding to the region. While the center of the system is not expected to directly impact Houston, the city may still experience storms and heavy rain on Friday and Saturday.
Tropical Storm Erin
In addition to the Gulf low pressure system, Tropical Storm Erin is gaining strength in the Atlantic Ocean. Erin is expected to become a hurricane by tomorrow and could potentially become a major hurricane by the weekend. However, the storm is not expected to pose a direct threat to Houston, instead posing a risk to Bermuda and bringing larger waves to the beaches from Florida to New England.
Hot and Unsettled Weather Pattern
The overall weather pattern in Houston is expected to remain hot and unsettled, with daily scattered storms and humid highs in the mid-90s. This pattern is likely to continue throughout the weekend, with the possibility of heavy storms and flooding in south Texas.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Houston’s weather forecast is being closely monitored due to the potential for tropical activity in the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean. While the city is not expected to be directly impacted by Tropical Storm Erin, the Gulf low pressure system could bring heavy storms and flooding to the region. Residents are advised to stay weather-aware and up-to-date with the latest forecast to ensure their safety.
