Houstonians are in for another steamy week, with record-challenging heat and limited opportunities for rain on the horizon.
Houston is getting ready for another week of temperatures in the middle of May that feel more like summer than spring. The Bayou City is once again very hot.
Monday began with sticky, windy weather, and it won't get much cooler from here on out. The afternoon of Tuesday could be the hottest on record, with highs getting close to 97°F (just above the current record of 95°F). There will be a lot of sunshine every day this week.
However, there may be some short-term relief late Tuesday or Wednesday. A weak front is expected to move through the area, slightly lowering the humidity. Even though it will be mostly sunny, morning lows may feel a little cooler during the week. However, afternoon highs will still reach the 90s.
The chance of a storm is still low, but not zero. On Monday night, there may be a short round of storms overnight north of the city, mainly between College Station, Livingston, and Huntsville. These are likely to be isolated and not last long.
That same weak front could cause a pop-up shower or storm on Tuesday. Most places will stay dry, and the overall weather prediction is for hot and humid conditions.
Regarding the second part of the week, things will stay the same: hot, humid, and mostly dry.
People outside should drink plenty of water, avoid the sun during peak hours, and watch the weather in case any scattered storms form.
Stay tuned for updates as we watch the weather and any minor changes that might make a storm more likely.
