Houston weather: Sunny, hot Wednesday; low humidity
Beautiful and cool Wednesday morning, then things turn hot as we move into the afternoon and it heats up to the 90s. There's going to be a bit more humidity moving in tomorrow and Friday.
HOUSTON - Today looks great. Lows this morning fell into the low and middle 60s — the coolest temps since May 12.
Afternoon highs will get very warm with lots of upper 80s and low 90s, but humidity values could drop below 20%, so very dry air for later today.
Muggy pattern begins Thursday
Our fall preview will come to an end in most locations tonight with lows in the 70s again. Some areas north of I-10 could reach the 60s again, but most of you will feel the increase in humidity over the next 24 hours.
As more humid air returns from the Gulf, there could be a few showers or an isolated storm south of Houston on Thursday.
This warmer pattern will continue through the weekend and into next week with very warm afternoon highs in the low to mid 90s and lows in the low to mid 70s.
Quiet in the tropics
Over the last 170 years of data, today, September 10, is the average peak of hurricane season. So, on average, today is the day with the highest likelihood for tropical storms and hurricanes. This year, however, conditions are very quiet in the Atlantic with no significant tropical waves and no named storms expected over the next several days. A weak low could form near Florida by the weekend, but it's unlikely to get strong or to affect Texas.
