Saturday, May 30 is serving up classic Houston weather: it started out warm and humid across the metro, with temperatures in the mid-70s and a sticky feel hanging in the air. Patchy fog is possible in low-lying neighborhoods and along bayous before sunrise, but most spots should shake it off by late morning and head into a hot, mostly sunny afternoon.
Morning Fog And Afternoon Heat
That early patchy fog should thin by midmorning, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 93 degrees. Light south winds around 0 to 5 mph will not do much to cool things down, and with high humidity, heat-index values will climb into the 90s and may locally edge toward the triple digits. The heat will not really let up overnight either, with muggy lows only dipping into the mid-70s on Saturday night.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston, rain chances stay near zero through the weekend and marine conditions should remain light, good news for anyone eyeing time on the water.
Stay Cool
There are no heat advisories in effect right now, but the mix of heat and humidity can still be tough on outdoor workers, seniors and young children, so it is smart to take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day. If you need an air-conditioned break, local libraries, community centers and county facilities often double as cooling centers. Check ReadyHarris for locations and hours.
Storm Chances Next Week
Rain makes a comeback early next week. Forecasters are calling for about a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon, June 1, with scattered storms likely again Tuesday as humidity levels stay high and weak disturbances move through the region. Brief heavy downpours and gusty winds are possible with the stronger cells, so boaters and anyone with outdoor plans should keep an eye on updated forecasts.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston, daily storm chances are expected through much of next week as onshore flow persists.
