HOUSTON – It’s a little cooler compared to last week, but it’s still hot. Today will be mostly sunny with a light 5-10 mph breeze. We’re watching the chance of isolated showers south of I-10 today, and more rain is on the way for your commute Monday morning.
In addition, isolated showers and thunderstorms are to be expected, which will continue to be possible over the weekend.

Pattern change:
By Sunday we will finally see a shift in the hot high pressure system pulling Texas back into the Central Plains. We will be tracking a low pressure system moving in from the east side of the Gulf that will bring with it a lot of tropical moisture from lower regions.
As the moisture moves in, we’ll change our hot weather forecast for this week and increase the chance of rain for most of next week. You can expect some heavy downpours at times each afternoon.
On the trail of the tropics:
No tropical activity is expected in the Atlantic Ocean for the next seven days. The next named storm will be Francine, but that is unlikely within the next seven days.
10-day forecast:
Next week our weather pattern changes. Tropical humidity moves in, lowering temperatures and increasing the chance of rain. Day 9 is the first day of September.
If you’re looking for cooler weather, we expect a gradual cooldown in September. Our average high temperature drops to 88° by the end of the month. Our average low temperature drops to 67° – thank goodness!
Although we expect our temperatures to drop seasonally, the Climate Prediction Center expects temperatures to remain above average throughout the month across most of the U.S. As a reminder, our last 100-degree day was September 27, following Hurricane Rita.
