HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got a little humidity relief blowing in overnight, but it won’t stick around for long. By Thursday the steamy air is back, and over the weekend rain chances return.
Temperatures overnight will dip into the upper 60s and low 70s with the drier air in place. That’s about 10 degrees cooler than it was Tuesday morning when the low in Houston only dropped to 81 degrees. Temperatures will still climb into the low 90s during the afternoon, but with the lower humidity it will feel more tolerable than it did Tuesday when the heat index climbed above 105 degrees.
We’ll get an abundance of sunshine under a partly cloudy sky. No rain is expected on Wednesday.
When could we get some rain again?
Rain chances return for the holiday weekend with the highest chance of rain peaking on Memorial Day when another front pushes into Southeast Texas. At this time we have a 20% chance for Saturday, 30% chance for Sunday, and a 60% chance Monday.
Will the Memorial Day front bring us any sustained heat relief?
Yes! This is a stronger front that will drop highs back into the 80s for most of next week, which is more typical for late May.
