Watch extended weather forecast on KPRC 2+

Thursday’s Forecast:

We’ll still see a pleasant morning for Thursday with most areas seeing the mid to upper 70s. However, for the afternoon, we will once again see muggy conditions with highs up between 100-104. The heat and humidity are back!

Extreme Heat & 100 degree days:

Monday and Tuesday hit 104 degrees, which is the hottest temperature we have seen in 400 days here in Houston. In fact, since 2016 we’ve only been above 104 one time. That was July 10, 2022 when we hit 105 degrees. We haven’t had rain in Houston since July 6th, more than four weeks ago.

10-Day Forecast:

Our streak of triple digit heat continues this week. As we get to the weekend our weather pattern changes. High pressure moves north, allowing the chance of widespread rain and lower temperatures next week.

Tracking the Tropics:

There are several regions in the Atlantic Basin that has a chance for development in the next week, but the one we’re watching the closest is an area in the Gulf of Mexico. This area has a low chance (20%) of forming in the next week. If we get any rainfall from this system it would likely be next Tuesday/Wednesday (August 22/23). Right now we do not have any storms to track, but it is possible we can see some development of a broad low by late this weekend.
