HOUSTON - The warm trend is expected to hold through the weekend and into early next week thanks to a steady onshore breeze.

Daily record highs are in jeopardy Sunday through Tuesday with records sitting in the mid 80s and forecast highs also in the mid 80s.

We are within about 5 degrees of each daily record high for the next few days. Sunday and Tuesday we could be breaking the record based on what we are forecasting.

Drought worsens

Nearly our entire viewing area is in some sort of drought risk. Widespread severe and moderate drought levels persist in Fort Bend, Harris, Liberty, Chambers, and Galveston Counties among many more. Areas should get some relief in the near future — models suggest about an inch or two of rain to fall across much of the area in the next seven days.

Rain on the way

By Wednesday, rain chances increase with daily rain chances lasting until Friday. Our longer-term forecast models are showing potential for above average precipitation than what we typically see this time of year. The potential for a couple of strong storm systems between November 20th and 30th is also showing up, so it could get rocky then. It's still far too early to be confident on the timing, but just be aware that there may be storms for Thanksgiving week.
