After a notably wet Labor Day weekend, Houston is currently experiencing a period of dry weather, with clear skies expected for most of the first week of this month. According to Click2Houston, residents are advised to make the most of this dry spell and favorable outdoor conditions, as precipitation is forecast to return later in the week.
Temperatures are expected to rise slightly during this period, with highs between 94 and 96 degrees forecast from Wednesday to Friday. This increase will come with a drop in humidity, resulting in a more comfortable climate compared to the recent muggy conditions. However, these improved conditions may be temporary, as rain is predicted to return late Sunday.
The National Weather Service forecast for Houston indicates a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., followed by mostly clear skies later in the evening. Tonight’s low temperature is expected to be around 74 degrees, with gentle easterly winds calming as the night goes on. While the tropical outlook remains calm at present, meteorologists are monitoring a tropical wave near the Cabo Verde Islands that has a 70% chance of developing over the next seven days.
The end of the week is expected to bring some changes to Houston's weather. By Monday, there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, which may lead to a cooler start with morning lows dropping to the upper 60s early next week. Despite this brief cool down, daytime temperatures are forecast to stay relatively high. Following the wet period, Tuesday’s morning lows are expected to rise slightly, with temperatures likely in the low to mid-70s, as reported by Click2Houston.
