Yesterday was Thirsty Thursday in elements of the Houston space. Whereas the protection of showers and storms was a bit lower than Wednesday, some fairly heavy rain fell in spots, even resulting in some road flooding. On the map under, the teal coloration is mostly about an inch, inexperienced is an inch and a half, and pink/blue begins ratcheting as much as 2 to three inches. Clearly, the toughest hit areas yesterday had been in elements of Fort Bend County, Sharpstown, Bellaire, West U, and near Pasadena.
We stay in drought, nevertheless. In reality, as of Tuesday, excessive drought had expanded to cowl half of the Houston area.
These showers aren’t heavy sufficient over a large sufficient space to essentially severely dent the drought, however they provide appreciable short-term aid. Hopefully we will get some extra.
At the moment
Protection of showers must be just like extra in depth than Thursday. We’ve got somewhat additional assist at the moment coming courtesy of somewhat disturbance shifting west throughout the Gulf. Like yesterday, usually sluggish shifting showers might result in a fast inch or two or perhaps a bit extra in spots. Loads of locations received’t see rain at the moment. Exterior of the storms, mid to upper-90s as soon as extra.
Weekend
I do assume we’ll see a noticeable lower in bathe protection this weekend. We’re kind of on the mercy of precisely how an higher degree system tracks, presently anticipated to go offshore far sufficient to kind of “rob” what’s wanted for showers. A number of locations might see an remoted storm or two, particularly on Sunday. Moreover, search for some haze, courtesy of Saharan mud. Mid to upper-90s ought to dominate for highs, with 70s for lows.
Subsequent week
Rain probabilities ought to bounce again somewhat bit on Monday once more, earlier than diminishing Tuesday and maybe Wednesday and Thursday as excessive stress settles in overhead.
By the tip of the week, there are a couple of extra questions. With excessive stress anticipated to anchor in North Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas this could preserve us sizzling and humid, however it could be simply far sufficient away to maintain the door cracked every day for bathe and storm probabilities. Extra on that subsequent week.
The warmth might be with us although with mid to upper-90s every day. We’ll have a pair photographs at 100+ right here or there too, however I’d anticipate to see extra 98s and 99s. Does it matter? Probably not, however it’s one thing I assume. Extra Monday!
