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.
Temperatures Wednesday morning will run about 20 degrees warmer than they did on Veterans Day. Temperatures in the mid 50s will be be fairly common. Light patchy fog is possible, especially in more rural parts of Southeast Texas. Sunshine will warm temperatures quickly, and we’ll spend most of the afternoon in the low 80s under a partly cloudy sky.
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 weak upper-air disturbance will bring extra clouds on Saturday, but it’s only good for a 10% chance of rain. We have also lowered Sunday’s rain chance down to 10% as it appears the next weather system to impact the country will likely miss Texas.
Why might we need the umbrellas next week?
The following upper-level storm system to reach North America after the weekend looks to 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, November 20, with cooler and drier air to follow after its passage.
