In brief: In today\u2019s post we discuss Houston\u2019s ongoing hot weather this week, and whether there will be any changes. We also dig into the forecast for the Fourth of July. Finally, the plumes of dust moving into Texas this week are so big they can be seen from space!<\/p>\n

All we are is dust in the wind<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, there\u2019s not a whole lot to talk about weather-wise once again this week. This leaves us with dust, a fairly large plume of which is moving into Texas today. Over the weekend a company that operates cameras on the International Space Station, Sen<\/a>, captured a pretty incredible view<\/a> of Saharan dust approaching the Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n

This gives you some idea of the scope of these plumes, which are huge. For the most part the dust is beneficial, choking off the formation of tropical storms and hurricanes, and helping to revitalize soils where it comes ashore. This plume will peak later today. We\u2019ll likely see continued rounds of dust (look for more vivid sunsets) in the coming weeks as \u201cdust season\u201d peaks. <\/p>\n

Monday<\/p>\n

In the headline of today\u2019s post we asked if Houston\u2019s weather is going to change much this week. I\u2019m a sucker for proving Betteridge\u2019s law of headlines<\/a> to be correct, so the answer is largely no. However there will be some subtle changes from last week simply because the high pressure dominating our weather of late will gradually shift to the northeast. This will open us up to some slight, daily rain chances. Think something like 20 percent, varying on a day to day basis. These are most likely during the afternoon hours, along the sea breeze. And if you do get hit with a shower, most likely it will move through quickly.<\/p>\n

As for today, well, it\u2019s going to be hot and sunny. If you\u2019re in town for the World Cup knockout game between Japan and Brazil, welcome! We can all be thankful there\u2019s a roof over Houston Stadium because the game kicks off at noon, local time. High temperatures today will be in the low- to mid-90s. Humidity will be high, of course. Winds will be from the south, gusting up to about 20 mph this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday<\/p>\n

And \u2026 not much changes for the rest of the week. We\u2019re going to see highs in the low- to mid-90s across the region, with partly to mostly sunny skies. There will be a slight chance of daytime showers. Humidity will be high, but with dewpoints in the low- to mid-70s it will not be as ultra-high as we can get during the summer months. As a result overnight lows probably will slip into the upper 70s on some nights.<\/p>\n

Fourth of July holiday weekend<\/p>\n

Most people, I think, are getting Friday off this week as part of the Fourth of July holiday weekend. (But don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve chained Matt to his keyboard, so he\u2019s definitely not getting Friday off here). Anyway, the prevailing weather for this weekend will see continued hot and sunny weather, with high temperatures perhaps ticking up a degree or two. However, there are some subtle hints in the models that we might see a few more clouds, and therefore I\u2019m not sure whether daily rain chances will be something like 10 percent or 30 percent. In any case, my overall expectations are for mostly fine weather for fireworks and outdoor celebrations over the holiday weekend (typical early July heat notwithstanding), but my crystal ball is not yet totally clear.<\/p>\n
