Weather Forecast Details

General Discussion:
The high-pressure ridge has been centered over the Desert Southwest this week, and that will continue to be the case through the week. Next week, however, the ridge will shift eastward – expected to be centered over Texas by midweek. For the remainder of next week and likely the following week as well, high pressure will dominate the Gulf Coast states, including Texas. This means, temperatures for the next two weeks have hotter potential than this week. In the shorter term, some scattered rain chances return for the next few days, with the best chances over the Coast zone, including Houston. Some isolated cells could make it as far west as the I-35 locations between Dallas and San Antonio, but there is not enough rain coverage expected to provide more than 10-20% rain chance probabilities in areas away from the Coast. A drier pattern is likely next week.

Today:
Mostly sunny skies and hot again today. Temperatures again won’t vary much from yesterday – mostly within a degree or so of yesterday’s highs. Upper 90s to low 100s are expected this afternoon. Mid-70s to low 80s overnight. Scattered to isolated showers and maybe a thunderstorm will develop mid-afternoon over Southeast Texas. A few of those cells could make it to eastern parts of the South Central zone late in the day, but few are likely to see rain.

This Weekend:
Not quite as hot as the past several days but still nothing below normal. Highs will range from the mid-90s to low 100s both Saturday and Sunday, with Sunday having the relatively cooler potential of the two days. Like today, scattered to isolated showers are again possible over roughly the eastern half-to-third of the state. The best chances will again be over the Coast zone.
