HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — This is about as warm as it gets in November, and it will get even warmer next week ahead of a powerful Pacific storm system that eventually brings us a chance for severe weather.
After mild temperatures in the low 60s this morning, highs will climb into the mid 80s and could be record tying or breaking for the city. We’ll continue to threaten heat records all the way through Wednesday.
When should we expect rain with next week’s storm system?
That powerful storm system should bring us a round of thunderstorms on Thursday. 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. In the days ahead of its arrival, we can expect streamer showers to roll in from the Gulf, good enough for a 10-20% chance of rain. By the way, that sticky Gulf air will push both low and high temperatures into record warm territory.
Will it cool down behind those storms?
Yes, but it won’t be nearly as chilly as what we experienced with our last cold front. We are looking at lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s, which is closer to normal for this time of year.
What is happening in the tropics?
Tropical development is not expected in the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
