HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s going to be a beautiful weekend with plenty of sunshine, but we’ll also see a return of summer-like heat and humidity that could pop off some showers and thunderstorms.
High temperatures each day this weekend will be in the mid-to-upper 90s under a partly cloudy sky. Morning lows will be in the mid-to-upper 70s, which is more typical for July and August. Rain chances are minimal at 10% for Saturday increasing to 30% for Sunday with the potential for some strong of even severe storms Sunday afternoon.
Do you expect those summertime temperatures to continue?
Yep. High temperatures should remain at or above 90 degrees for the next 10 days. Thankfully, we don’t foresee any 100-degree days, but the combination of heat and humidity could put the heat index into the triple digits.
How long will we have to wait for our first fall front?
At least 10 days…if not longer. There are hints that a “baby” fall front could roll in just after the start of astronomical fall on September 22, but we wouldn’t get too excited over those prospects just yet.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
There are a few tropical waves we are monitoring in the Atlantic, none of which are expected to threaten the Gulf. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for the latest on what’s happening in the tropics.
