HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — While temperatures reaching the mid-upper 90s Sunday, if it didn’t feel “as hot” it’s because of the lower humidity. Unfortunately, this “drier heat” wont stick around with humidity levels increasing early in the week. However, the return of more tropical moisture will give way to a few small rain chances.
Temperatures Sunday night will fall to upper 70s overnight, and you might notice that it could feel a bit more humid tonight. This, paired with afternoon highs back in the mid-upper 90s, heat index values will approach that 108-degree mark Sunday afternoon. And with the addition of more humid air in Southeast Texas, an isolated shower or storm cant be ruled out Monday. Best chance for that will be in the afternoon or early evening and along or south of I-10.
Besides Monday, are there any other chances for showers and storms this week?
Monday and Tuesday’s rain chances are based on an afternoon sea breeze that could move inland. That being said, it’s not a widespread rain chance… much more hit or miss. Monday and Tuesday it’s only a 30% chance for rain, then that drops to 20% for Wednesday and Thursday. So if a passing shower or storm moves through your neighborhood this week, you’re lucky! Beyond Thursday, there is no prominent rain chance for potential the next 7 days or more.
