On Sunday, Houston experienced unusually warm weather, with temperatures hitting 85 degrees at IAH and 90 degrees at Hobby Airport, breaking long-standing records. On Monday, the warmth will continue with mostly cloudy skies in the morning turning sunny, highs in the low 80s, and southern winds gusting up to 20 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

Later in the week, increased humidity and Gulf moisture will raise the likelihood of showers, with a cold front expected to bring a higher chance of thunderstorms. "Our best chance of seeing rain will be by the end of next week," Click2Houston reports, urging residents to monitor updates as the storm’s timing and intensity could change.

Street flooding and ponding are possible as storms approach Houston. After Thursday’s cold front, temperatures are expected to drop back into the 70s, with additional rain and cooler conditions possible. Residents should prepare for a week of extreme weather, including record summer-like highs, a cold front, and potential thunderstorms.
