In brief: A warmer and sunnier stretch of weather should await the Houston area this week, albeit with lower humidity levels. The tropics are not a concern for us at this time, with any Gulf tropical system likely staying well to our south and east. We turn hotter and more humid this weekend and early next week. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if Sunday was the unofficial first fall day in Houston, but the weather behaved that way to an extent. Overcast skies, some light rain and drizzle, and the hangover of a disappointing sports week seemed to make it so. Our high temperature yesterday was 81\u00b0, the coolest daytime high since July 14th, when we only hit 79\u00b0. This type of weather won\u2019t last, however, as we move into something of a more typical warm autumn setup for the rest of this week.<\/p>\n

Today<\/p>\n

We have some lingering clouds this morning. And those clouds may be a bit stubborn, especially south and east of Houston. There will continue to be a shower chance to the southeast too with the cool front sitting just offshore. But overall we\u2019ll call today partly cloudy to perhaps eventually mostly sunny, with highs likely bouncing back into the mid-80s.<\/p>\n

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

As of now we expect all three days to be generally partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs will probably be in the upper 80s. Morning lows may not be too bad on Tuesday, with a chance that some places outside of Beltway 8 drop into the 60s. <\/p>\n

Daytimes will be hot with those upper-80s, but the humidity levels will be less oppressive and more typical for October. There could be some showers, especially by Wednesday or Thursday, and especially south and east of Houston each afternoon.<\/p>\n

Tropics & late week through the weekend<\/p>\n

I wrote about the tropical disturbance in the southwest Gulf and Bay of Campeche yesterday<\/a> at The Eyewall. I\u2019ll have another update on that later today or tonight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The NHC has odds of tropical development up to 50% today. Some modeling shows higher odds, but it is likely to remain south and east of Texas. (NOAA NHC)<\/p>\n

But the short takeaway is that we should not need to worry much about this system here in Texas. With a front draped offshore, and general southwest to northeast flow pattern, whatever happens there, be it a slopfest of moisture or a stronger tropical storm or hurricane will likely be carried to our east.<\/p>\n

This is also well reflected in the model forecast of precipitation anomalies, which you can see over the next 7 to 10 days will likely end up well above normal south and east of our area. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Higher moisture is going to stay south and east of Houston this week, indicating the higher risk of tropical development should also remain there. (Tropical Tidbits)<\/p>\n

So for Houston, this means that we will probably continue with these seasonably warm temperatures that may gradually trend to more unseasonably warm as we go toward the weekend and next week. We\u2019ll probably see the humidity return late this week as well. This time, however, it does look at a front or fronts will break things up sometime next week. We\u2019re beginning to see the pace of fronts slowly increase, which should mean that any higher humidity periods should be shorter-lived than they have been since September.<\/p>\n
