HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Thursday’s weather will continue the pattern of the last few days. The day will begin rain-free, but after temperatures climb into the low 90s, a few small but heavy rain showers could again pop up over parts of Houston.
Ozone pollution could also be an issue in some Houston-area neighborhoods from around 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Are there any decent rain chances over the next 10 days?
It’s looking a little more promising for rainfall early next week. Rain chances are at 30% or less through Monday. We’ve boosted Tuesday’s chance to 40% on Thursday as there are growing signs that a low pressure system in the upper atmosphere could rotate around a heat ridge and into Texas. If that happens, it could increase our rain chances even more. It also looks it could deliver a weak cool front.
What’s the early read on this front next week?
Don’t get your hopes too high with this one. Initially it will deliver a chance for rain Tuesday into early Wednesday. We now have a north breeze in the forecast for next Wednesday and Thursday, and that should deliver a brief dose of slightly drier and slightly cooler air. We might get one morning in the 60s and one afternoon in the 80s out of this one.
When does fall begin?
The autumnal equinox is on Monday, September 22, marking the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical fall. Meteorological Fall began on September 1st.
What is happening in the tropics?
Tropical Storm Gabrielle has formed in the central Atlantic and a tropical wave that just departed Africa could develop as it heads westward toward the Caribbean. Another wave coming behind it also has a small chance for development. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
