A steamy forecast for Monday Night Football

0

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The sunny and warm weather continues for the last full week of summer and will likely stick around as we head into fall.

A couple of isolated showers or storms could develop Monday. The best chance for any of these passing showers and storms will be along and south of I-10. Otherwise, Monday will be another sunny day with a few cumulus clouds and warm conditions. Morning lows will start in the low-mid 70s with afternoon high temperatures reaching the low-mid 90s.

What’s the weather for the Texans home opener for Monday Night Football?

Get ready to swarm NRG Park and Stadium with a mix of sun and clouds and plenty of steam! Be sure to stay hydrated through because temperatures Monday afternoon will be in the mid 90s. Don’t forget the sunscreen too with a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky for tailgates. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. where temperatures will be in the low 90s at the start of the game and fall into the mid 80s by the fourth quarter.

Are there any decent rain chances over the next 10 days?

Not any really good chances. A heat ridge settling in over Texas will squash our rain chances to 20% or less every day. By the end of next week, high temperatures could also make a run for the upper 90s. Some computer models are showing a hint at a pattern change that could bring better rain chances and slightly cooler weather once fall begins on Sept 22nd, but it’s far from set in stone at this point.

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?

There is a high chance for tropical development in the eastern Atlantic over the next 7 days, and there are signs that things could take an active turn the last 10 days of this month. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
