Warmer days are coming for Houston but don’t worry, fall is still here!

Work week warm-up:

Each day, morning and afternoon temperatures will rise by a couple of degrees. Gone are the mornings in the 40s and afternoons in the 70s. It won’t be hot, but we’re losing that crisp fall feel the rest of the week. There is good news with humidity. It will stay low through the weekend.

Warming temperatures to near 90° Friday and Saturday

Warm and dry through early next week:

We are in a weather pattern called an omega block. Looking below you can see the Greek Symbol for Omega. This blocking pattern occurs when two areas of low pressure “block” high pressure from moving. Because we’re under the high, we’ll experience dry weather with warm temperatures. This pattern won’t change until early next week.

Warmer pattern for later this week

Tracking the tropics:

There is an area off the east coast that has a 40% chance of becoming our next tropical system. It will bring strong winds and coastal flooding from Delaware to the Outer Banks. There is already 8-12′ waves. It will not make direct hit on the United States.

Extended forecast:

I know you are all wanting to know when the next cold front will move through. There is some indication our next front arrives at the end of the month. I have this on the 10-day on Wednesday the 28th. I don’t have a drastic drop in temperatures on Thursday because this isn’t a high change it occurs. But if this front looks like it really may happen you’ll see changes on these dates. Of course we’ll keep you posted.
