HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Another warm, windy and humid day today. After a warm start we’ll see sunshine breaking through the clouds, and that will push high temperatures into the mid 80s. Despite how humid it will feel, your rain chance is less than 10%. Winds will continue to gust over 30 mph, and possibly as high as 40 mph Saturday afternoon.
When could we get a more significant rain to help with the drought?
On Monday we are expecting a cool front to push through, and our confidence is growing that it will bring a line of showers and thunderstorms along with it. Computer models are optimistic many of us will get at least a half inch of rainfall. That wouldn’t bust the budding drought, but it sure would help. We’ve increased your rain chance to 40%. Showers and storms may linger in a scattered variety into Tuesday morning.
How does the weekend look?
It will be a breezy, humid weekend. Despite the high humidity, there are no disturbances or fronts coming through to push the rain chance above 10%. Morning lows will dip into the low 70s with afternoon highs in the mid 80s. Sunday’s temperatures could even push close to 90. Both days will bring a mix of clouds and sunshine with a southeast breeze up to 30 mph and wind gusts up to 40 mph, especially on Saturday.
