As Houston braces for a mix of weather patterns this week, residents can expect a variety of conditions. Today, the National Weather Service reports a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 87 degrees. Moving into the night, the chance of precipitation drops to 10 percent, offering partly cloudy skies and a low around 72.
Weather is subject to rapidly change, but the forecast for Monday maintains sunny skies with temperatures expected to hover again near 87. A northeast wind will keep to blow gently at 5 to 10 mph. It's Tuesday when we'll start to see the mercury rise, with an anticipated high of 89 degrees and more placid, clear evening skies.
According to FOX 26 Houston, while we navigate Sunday's potential downpours, there's a looming question mark hovering over the Atlantic. The remnants of a Pacific tropical system might be intervening this weekend to spark scattered showers. However, eyes are tracking "Invest 91L," a system with a current low probability of ascending into a tropical depression due to encroaching dry air.
Specific concerns for Sunday include "a Marginal Risk for street flooding," which is a level 1 out of 4 risk identified by the Weather Prediction Center. "Locally heavy rain is possible in the afternoon," which could lead to isolated flooding if a potent storm strikes an already saturated ground. With the peak of hurricane season imminent, vigilance is urged among Texans, according to FOX 26 Houston.
The latter half of the week promises to swing back to brighter conditions, with the National Weather Service forecasting consistent sunny days with highs gradually increasing to near 92 degrees from Wednesday onward, only slightly tempered by evening lows in the mid-70s. As Houston weather goes, it's crucial to remain prepared for an often unpredictable climate reel.
