Houston residents can expect to see a combination of sunshine and clouds with a side of typical Gulf humidity as the city moves into the Memorial holiday weekend. Forecasts suggest that the weather will be mostly sunny with temperatures climbing into the low 90s, according to the National Weather Service. However, throughout the weekend, the mercury is set to hit a high near 92 degrees, with heat index values making it feel to sharply rise as high as 101 degrees.
Those planning to spend their holiday weekend outdoors are advised to exercise caution. "Remember to take breaks to avoid heat exhaustion if you plan to be outside," warned a report from Click2Houston. It's important to note that it typically takes a few weeks for bodies to acclimate properly to the intensifying summer heat of Houston.
Travelers gearing up to hit the roads for the Memorial Day weekend are expected to encounter clear skies on Thursday, improving travel conditions. The holiday weekend's forecast suggests only a 20-30% chance of rain. However, there is a looming increase in storm probabilities by Memorial Day itself and into the next week, as stated by Click2Houston.
The Click2Houston Weather Team is preparing to actively monitor any potential disruptions closely through the holiday weekend for travelers. As reported by the National Weather Service, the storm chances are set to gradually escalate for Memorial Day, giving way to a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms by Tuesday. Nighttime conditions throughout the next week will likely be mostly cloudy with intermittent chances of rain and thunderstorms.
