Tonight’s Forecast:

It was a steamy Tuesday across SE Texas! Tomball hit 102° and several other places reached the triple digit mark. Overnight we will have a muggy and warm evening with lows in the lower 80s.

Wednesday’s Forecast:

Wednesday brings a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm. Other than that expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 90s. Wind will be from the south at 5 to 10 mph.

Record-setting hot July:

It has been a HOT July! Temperatures have been in the upper 90s to 100+ degrees for all but five days this month. We finally broke our stretch of 5 straight 100-degree days last Friday.

Despite failing to reach 100 degrees the past five days, Houston is still on track to set the hottest July on record. Records go back to May 1, 1889.

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:

While temperatures are still above average, I don’t have any triple digit temperatures in this 10-day forecast. The biggest reason is we no longer have a dome of high pressure brining unrelenting heat. We also have a chance of rain every afternoon through this weekend.
