HOUSTON, Texas (KHOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — If you like it hot and humid, you’re going to love Houston’s weather for the remainder of astronomical summer! For everyone else, you could be waiting for weeks to get another taste of fall like we had earlier this week.
What’s in store for the weekend?
For Saturday and Sunday we expect highs in the mid 90s. We can’t rule out a stray shower either day, but we have rain chances at 10% Saturday and 20% on Sunday, so most of us will stay dry. Ozone pollution could also reach unhealthy levels in some Houston area neighborhoods.
Are there any decent rain chances over the next 10 days?
Not really. A heat ridge settling in over Texas will squash our rain chances to less than 20% every day. By the end of next week, high temperatures will also make a run for the upper 90s.
When does fall begin?
The autumnal equinox is on Monday, September 22, marking the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical fall. The atmosphere doesn’t look like it will play along, with summer-like heat continuing past the equinox.
What is happening in the tropics?
There is a medium chance for tropical development in the far 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.
