HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Gulf breeze is bringing back moisture and warmer temperatures in the days ahead, and while you probably won’t need your jacket much over the next 10 days, your umbrella may finally see some action next week.
Thursday we’ll have a mixture of morning lows in the 50s north of I-10 and 60s south of I-10. There could even be patchy dense fog along I-10. We’ll once again have an abundance of sun to warm highs into the low-to-mid 80s. Our average highs this time of year is in the mid 70s. Similar weather is expected on Friday.
What can we expect over the weekend?
It’s going to be a warm one! You can expect lows in the mid-to-upper 60s with highs near record levels in the mid 80s. A Pacific storm over the western U.S. will miss Texas, but it will keep the Gulf breeze cranking in more moisture, which is good enough for a 10% chance of rain on Sunday.
Why might we need the umbrellas next week?
While the first upper-level storm will miss us, the next one in line to reach North America should impact us toward the end of next week. If this one does not cut off from the jet stream flow, it looks to bring a more promising rain chance. Given how warm and humid the air will be, it’s possible we could even have severe weather, but we’ve got plenty of time to sort out the details on that one. For now we have the highest chances of rain centered around next Thursday and Friday, November 20-21, with cooler and drier air to follow after its passage.
