We finally saw rain Friday:
Scattered thunderstorms popped up across SE Texas Friday afternoon, bringing much needed rainfall to the area! The rain brought a brief cool down and up to 1.5″ of rainfall!
Today’s Forecast:
This morning we’re seeing temperatures drop to the mid 70s. It will still be muggy! Expect partly cloudy skies with winds from the south at 5-15mph and afernoon shower and thunderstorm chances.
Saturday’s Temperatures:
Saturday will be similar to what we saw Friday. Temperatures will reach the upper 90s to 100 for many, but some will get showers and that will mean a nice cool down for you! The computer model below shows the upper 90s where there is no rain. You can tell from the map where the rain is or has been at 3pm.
Record-setting hot July:
We are on track to set the hottest July on record in Houston, which would extend to records all the way back to 1889! Temperatures have been in the upper 90s to 100+ for all but three days this month. We also set the record for the hottest June in Houston.
The other thing to watch is how many 100 degree days we have this month. 1980 set the record with 18 100 degree days. So far we are at 13 putting us in third place behind 1980 and 1998.
10-day Forecast:
If you don’t get showers this weekend, you’ll see highs in the triple digits.
