The National Weather Service reports today's steamy high creeping near 90 with that stubborn Texan sun shining down after a partly sunny start, and these winds just won't quit—gusting up to 20 mph when they make that morning shift from the southwest to west-northwest. Better hold onto your hats, or better yet, stay indoors, because this breeze means business.
As night falls, don't be fooled by the gradual cloud crawl up the sky— that low's lingering around a cozy 72 degrees. Those south-southeast winds are hanging around too, pacing 5 to 15 mph, but watch for the occasional burst of energy, they could whip up gusts as high as 20 mph, and that's when you'll feel the evening's breath on the back of your neck.
Wednesday looks to play a bit of tricks on us—there's a slight chance, 20 percent to be precise, of showers and thunderstorms rolling in after the clock strikes 1 pm, says the National Weather Service. But don't be fooled by the clouds, it's going to feel like 97 degrees under that partly sunny sky while the south-southwest winds throw punches with gusts of 25 mph.
Those thunderstorm threats skim back to a slim 20 percent before 1 am come Wednesday night, after that, expect mostly clear skies and a low around 68, the south-southwest winds calming down before swapping directions after midnight, but still, they could get frisky, gusting up to 20 mph again. And by Thursday, you'll notice a pleasant dip, with highs around 80 and that northeast wind's chill—keep in mind they'll be gusting up to 20 mph, so it's not all calm waters yet.
Rounding out the week, Friday's keeping a lid on it with mostly sunny skies and highs near 77, with those north winds sticking around, you guessed it, gusting as high as 25 mph. Overnight, clouds are tossing a blanket over the city, but temperatures stay moderate with a low of around 60. Saturday and Sunday, we're playing the same sunny tune with highs in the comfy 70s and 80s and nights partly cloudy in the low 60s. But come Monday, brace yourselves—there's another 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms playing tag with the sun, as we're looking at highs creeping back up to 84.
