The National Weather Service is predicting another scorcher for Houston, with the mercury expected to rise to near 95 degrees today. A Northeast wind at a brisk 5 to 10 mph in the morning, shifting southeast in the afternoon, will provide a modicum of relief from the heat, according to the National Weather Service.
Tonight, the forecast holds for mostly clear conditions with low temperatures dipping to about 75 degrees. Those looking for respite from the day's heat may find solace in the slightly cooler evening, as the winds calm and turn light and variable after midnight. Houstonians can anticipate consistently warm nights ahead, with lows hovering around the mid 70s to lower 80s, particularly in the metropolitan and coastal regions, as reported by the CW39.
As for the weekend, don't bet on rain to disrupt any outdoor plans. The National Weather Service continues to predict sunny skies for Saturday with highs again nearing 95 degrees. The evening is expected to be only partly cloudy, with a low around 75 degrees. Yet, come Sunday, there's a slight, almost teasing, chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 p.m., though the likelihood remains a slim 20 percent.
Looking forward into the new week, the extended forecast signals no significant break from the hot and predominantly dry conditions. Highs are expected to remain in the mid 90s, according to the National Weather Service.
