Good morning. Houston will enter a traditional summertime sample subsequent week by which excessive strain dominates. This may convey sunny skies and loads of warmth as we get deeper into June. However earlier than this occurs we’ll have a puncher’s likelihood of seeing some a lot wanted rain right this moment and Friday as a weak entrance sags into the area.
Thursday
In the present day’s rain probabilities shall be pushed by an advancing chilly entrance—please perceive this can be a chilly entrance in a meteorological sense, in that it’s a boundary forward of an advancing mass of air, however as we’re in June the “chilly” air behind the entrance is just not significantly chilly—colliding with the ocean breeze. The potential for rainfall right this moment might be best alongside and south of Interstate 10, the place these boundaries will meet. I believe there’s a few 50 % likelihood of showers and thunderstorms right this moment for coastal areas, whereas likelihood is most likely within the 30 % vary north of Interstate 10. These would be the form of storms the place some areas will see downpours whereas a number of streets over there’ll simply be menacing trying clouds and some drops. A fortunate few areas might choose up 1 to 2 inches of rain, however a lot of the area that receives rain will see a tenth of an inch or two. In any other case count on partly sunny skies right this moment, with winds turning northwest, and highs within the low 90s.
Friday
Rain shall be doable once more on Friday as an upper-level system passing via meets the ocean breeze, though I’d put probabilities at slightly bit decrease than Thursday. Will probably be the identical form of scenario, with passing downpours. Highs on Friday ought to attain about 90 levels, or a bit greater, with partly to largely sunny skies.
Saturday and Sunday
The weekend appears to be like sunny and heat, with highs within the low 90s. We are able to’t solely rule out a passing bathe on Saturday, however the likelihood is very low. Winds shall be pretty mild on Saturday, however ought to begin to blow in a extra pronounced method out of the south on Sunday, maybe gusting as much as 20 mph.
Subsequent week
As excessive strain settles in subsequent week, we should always largely see days with highs within the low- to mid-90s, partly to largely sunny skies, and southerly winds at 5 to fifteen mph with greater gusts. After this Friday, there doubtless gained’t be significant rain probabilities for at the least per week. Possibly that begins to alter by subsequent weekend? However solely perhaps. It’s summer season, child.
Tropics
Make investments 91L appears to be like to be near changing into a tropical despair, and even Tropical Storm Alex, later right this moment because it strikes into the southern Gulf of Mexico. There doesn’t look like an entire lot of potential for improvement, however the storm ought to convey quite a lot of rain to the Florida peninsula from Friday afternoon via Sunday afternoon.
