<\/a>Rain totals from Tuesday. (NOAA)<\/p>\nThe big winner was a Harris County Flood Control gauge along Halls Bayou at Airline, with 2.88 inches. It was a narrow corridor, but it was hit good.<\/p>\n

Today and Thursday<\/p>\n
99? 100? Does it even matter? It\u2019s hot! Thankfully, as high pressure starts to loosen up a little bit, the area will see modestly \u201cless hot\u201d weather the next couple days. Look for upper-90s today, more like 98 or so than 99 to 100. And if you feel spicy, lop off another degree on Thursday. Rain chances will remain relatively low in terms of coverage, but like yesterday, there should be at least a few slow-moving downpours each afternoon.<\/p>\n
Friday and Saturday<\/p>\n
Much more of the same is expected to close the week and start the weekend. High temperatures will probably drop off another degree or two, closer to the mid-90s. Rain chances may dial up another 5 percent or so with pockets of afternoon downpours near the coast and bays and moving inland, more of a traditional sea breeze-driven type setup.<\/p>\n
Sunday and Monday<\/p>\n
Temperatures should \u201cbottom out\u201d here. Look for mid-90s and a continued chance of daily downpours. Monday may actually see the greatest coverage of daily showers over this stretch.<\/p>\n
Rest of next week<\/p>\n
This break looks short-lived. I would expect to see temperatures begin to increase again next week. Beginning Tuesday, high pressure begins to reload and reorient. It will probably anchor itself very near Houston or just to the north. If that happens, you can expect a multi-day stretch of temperatures flirting with 100 degrees in addition to very low rain chances. In fact, the area is highlighted on the day 8 to 14 hazards outlook for risk of \u201cextreme heat,\u201d which is really benchmarked at 100ish risk.<\/p>\n
Temperatures should be back into the upper-90s by Wednesday to perhaps near 100 again by Thursday, and there they shall sit for more than a couple days. It appears that August is about to August<\/a> in a very august manner.<\/p>\n<\/a>Houston is centered in the day 8-14 hazards outlook for \u201cextreme heat\u201d late next week. (NOAA CPC)<\/p>\n
