Houstonians are set to enjoy a sunny Saturday with a high near 78 before the weather takes a breezy turn on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Folks should expect temperatures peaking at 75 degrees amidst partly sunny skies but should prepare for gusts up to 30 mph. The NWS Houston office provided a glance into next week's outlook, suggesting a 70% chance of showers and possible thunderstorms come Monday, but the skies are forecast to clear up with a sunny Tuesday up ahead. Those eager to check the detailed forecast can view it on the NWS website.

A bulletin released by the Storm Prediction Center indicates a slight risk of severe weather in the coming days for areas beyond Houston, particularly across parts of Kansas and Oklahoma. "Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms should develop Sunday afternoon and persist through Sunday night," with the risk of large hail and a few tornadoes as main threats. Those interested in the gritty details of this forecast can find additional information on the SPC website.

The City of Houston has also posted that tomorrow's weather is poised to be cooler with temperatures in the 70s and breezier conditions compared to the sunny reprieve of today's high of 78. "Some spots may attempt to break the 80 degree mark," forecasts the NWS Houston X account, signaling a balmy prelude to the anticipated weather fronts.

 

 

As a preface to next week's drearier forecasts, residents should enjoy the current mild temperatures and sunshine. Monday's chance of showers and thunderstorms is set to eventually give way to a series of sunny and mostly clear nights.
