HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got a lovely weekend in store for us… cooler mornings with low humidity and then a bright, sunny sky that will still make it feel pretty warm in the afternoon.
After a cool, fall-ish morning, temperatures will quickly climb into the upper 80s as it’s all sun from there on out. We keep the sunshine and warm temperatures too for Sunday afternoon with this warm stretch extending into next week too. And with this hot and dry weather, be aware that there is an increased fire danger risk is one were to spark and spread.
Will the low humidity stick around for the whole weekend?
It sure will! The weather will be great for outdoor activities, but all this sunny, dry weather will continue to dry out the ground and increase drought and fire danger conditions.
When’s our next chance for rain?
As of now, rain chances are slim over the next 10 days. We’ve got a 20-30% chance for rain as we head into next weekend, but until then it’s bone dry thanks to surface high pressure lingering across the region for the next week. This means any existing drought conditions will unfortunately get worse into the mid-October.
What is happening in the tropics?
We are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Jerry. It’s expected to stay out at sea away from the United States. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
