HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — If you thought it felt nice outside Monday, just wait until Tuesday! Our coolest temperatures since mid-May are on the way with widespread lows in the mid 60s Tuesday morning. Some spots northeast of Houston could even dip into the upper 50s by sunrise!
Before you go overboard on the fall wardrobe, keep in mind it will warm up to the low 90s in the afternoon, but at least it’s a dry heat! These are also ideal conditions for ozone pollution to form in the afternoon, so we’ll be keeping a watchful eye on the pollution sensors for you. Ozone is a lung irritant that can trigger a dry cough and asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.
How long does the lower humidity stick around?
We get to enjoy it through Wednesday afternoon! By Wednesday night, the muggy Gulf air is on the move and blowing back through Southeast Texas.
So no more low humidity for the weekend?
Correct. We’re back to hot, humid weather Thursday and it continues on through the weekend and most of next week. For Saturday and Sunday we expect lows in the mid 70s and highs in the mid 90s. We can’t rule out a stray shower either day, but the rain chance is less than 20%.
What is happening in the tropics?
There is no tropical development in the Atlantic Basin expected over the next 7 days, which is incredible considering it is the peak of hurricane season. However, there are signs that things could take an active turn later this month. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
