Houston residents, looking for a reprieve from the erratic weather of late, can expect a mostly cloudy today with a slim chance of showers early in the day, easing into clear skies in the evening. The forecast, courtesy of the National Weather Service, anticipates a high near 61 degrees with brisk northwestern winds reaching up to 15 mph.
As the sun sets on the Lone Star state's metropolis, the blankets of cloud are set to disperse, yielding a crisp night with temperatures dropping to around 45 degrees, the wind persisting with gusts as potent as 25 mph. Such conditions are prefatory to a week of gradual warming, according to the National Weather Service. On tap is a progression of sunny days, with tomorrow's high nearing 71 and climbing, promising a midweek peak with Wednesday's mercury flirting with 80 degrees.
The complementary weather scoop from CW39 corroborates this sunny disposition, forecasting a "beautiful Sunday with a warming trend next week." Indeed, as the low pressure makes its exodus eastward by this afternoon, Houstonians are granted a serene end to their weekend. The weather narrative, envisions a series of clear nights and balmy days, where the only interruption in this meteorological calm may come Wednesday and then, perhaps less assuredly, in the subsequent weekend. "By tonight into Monday, skies clear and temps remain cool," neatly paralleling the National Weather Service's prognostication.
The needle continues its ascent through Thursday, where Houston is set for a high near 85 degrees, propagating a pattern of partly cloudy nights and radiant days. However, the outlook takes a slight turn Friday night with a forecast suggesting "a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms," according to the National Weather Service. In the week’s denouement, Saturday seems to rebalance the scales with aplomb - unfurling clear skies, a high near 77 degrees.
