HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — If you were outside this weekend, you probably felt the difference between how hot it was Sunday over Saturday. That because of an increase in dewpoint temperatures, paving the way for a steamy week with high humidity and high temperatures.
How is next week shaping up?
It looks like we’ll have a pretty typical summer week with hot temperatures and a daily chance for afternoon showers and storms. The summer heat dome is back and will take over the forecast, so it’s generally a hot and dry outlook for the week. However, we could have enough moisture for a few showers and storms each afternoon as the sea breeze front moves inland. It won’t be a washout but you’ll need to make sure you have a place to head indoors in case a storm moves towards you. Temperatures will also be getting hot with highs topping out in the mid 90s by the end of the week, and Heat Advisories are possible.
What’s the rain outlook look like?
Not as promising this next week, which could be a nice change of pace after some pretty big storm systems rolling through over the past few weeks. This pattern change that could take over will be warmer and generally drier. Cant rule out any showers or storms that develop with a sea breeze of the daytime heating we get here in Houston. But Wednesday and Thursday a dip in the jet stream could bring in showers and storms form North Texas to the coast. That’s only a 40% chance right now for Wednesday and Thursday.
Any early hints at what we could see for the Fourth of July?
Early indications show that the heat dome that will build into the region next week could linger over the next week or two. The Climate Prediction Cetner also hints at above average temperatures for the first few days of July. This could mean afternoon highs in the mid 90s, which wouldn’t be unusual for Houston around the Fourth. As for any rain or storms or the tropics, it’s too early to call for those kinds of impacts.
What is happening in the tropics?
The potential area for additional development in the Bay of Campeche never organized and is sliding into land into Mexico Sunday evening. For more on that, head to our Daily Tropical Weather Update page.
