Houston Weather Forecast
Houston is experiencing sunny and dry weather thanks to a front that moved through on Thursday. The early mornings will be refreshing, with temperatures dipping into the 60s inland and coastal areas staying slightly warmer. By afternoon, highs will top out near 90, but with lower humidity making things feel nice and comfortable.
Current Weather Conditions
The dry and pleasant conditions are expected to persist through the weekend and most of next week. Nights will remain clear and pleasant inland, while daytime highs should stay in the upper 80s and low 90s. However, the only issue will be the chance of ozone air pollution each day, which is a concern for people with very sensitive lungs.
Tropical Activity
There are currently no tropical threats expected for the Gulf in the near term. However, in the Atlantic, it’s a different story. "Post-Tropical Cyclone" Gabrielle is passing the Azores and could bring wind and rain to Portugal this weekend. Hurricane Humberto is strengthening in the Atlantic and has become the third major hurricane of the season. The storm could stall between the US East Coast and Bermuda next week.
Potential Tropical Cyclones
Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine has formed near Cuba and will soon become Tropical Storm Imelda. Models show that it could strike the Carolinas as a potent system early-mid next week. Tropical storm warnings have already been issued for the Central Bahamas, with tropical storm watches in place for the Northwest Bahamas.
Conclusion
In summary, Houston can expect refreshing mornings and warm afternoons for the next week, with dry and pleasant conditions persisting. However, the chance of ozone air pollution is a concern, and people with sensitive lungs should take precautions. Meanwhile, the Atlantic is active with tropical cyclones, including Hurricane Humberto and Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, which could potentially impact the US East Coast and the Carolinas. Residents should stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and tropical updates to plan accordingly.
