The start of the next week continues the trend of warm weather, with sunny conditions expected from Sunday to Wednesday, and highs persisting in the lower 90s down to 87 by midweek. Nighttime will offer a respite with lows in the 70s, dipping down to 64 Tuesday night, a pattern observed through the forecast.
Despite the brief threat of stormy weather, the region is not on alert for any severe thunderstorms as reported by the Storm Prediction Center's recent discussion. "No severe thunderstorm areas forecast," indicating a quiet period for Houston in terms of weather hazards. They elaborate that weak deep layer flow and poor lapse rates across the area will preclude the potential for severe thunderstorms, as noted in the synopsis by the Storm Prediction Center.
As the heart of the city prepares for these warm days, a post from the NWS Houston confirms that "Surprise surprise...we have yet another day with high temperatures in the 90s!" Those inland will remain dry while conditions could stir up some isolated showers or storms offshore. Overnight will cool off to upper 60s and low 70s, for those seeking solace from the day's heat. For the most current updates on local weather patterns, Houstonians can stay tuned to posts from NWS Houston.
