Wake-Up Weather: Intermittent rain possible this week, with a front coming Friday




Warmer today, with a chance of drizzle.


Some very light rain is falling along some parts of the upper Texas coast, and that’s going to be more or less the case during the next couple of days as the region lies under mostly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

A capping inversion should prevent widespread, heavy showers from falling across the area before Thursday.

With the muggier Gulf air nighttime temperatures will be warm on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, only falling into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. In southern Texas there’s a chance this warmer air could push daytime temperatures on Wednesday all the way to 100 degrees.

Wednesday forecast high temperatures from the European model. (Weather Bell)


It looks like the best chance of rain showers during the work week will come later on Thursday and Thursday night, ahead of a cool front.

The front won’t provide too much cooling — although it should knock nighttime temperatures this weekend into the 50s — and unfortunately it no longer appears likely to clear our skies much for this weekend. So what we’re looking at for Saturday and Sunday are mostly cloudy, but slightly less muggy, days in the 70s with some rain chances and possibly even thunderstorms.



So, Bigfoot a fake

How can anyone not know

Yeti is not real?


The month of March ended with a cooler-than-normal temperature, marking the sixth consecutive month that Houston has recorded a bel0w-normal temperature.

    guess it’s time to start thinkin’ about the Hurricane Preps.

    G-Morning to all,

    OK, we know what a capping-inversion is: a layer of warm/hot air that prevents cooler air from below rise higher to form this greater condensation, thus heavier rain and t-storms.

    Million dollar question: What causes inversions and are we stuck with this one? If so, is there anyway to discern how potentially long?

    Finally, what makes an inversion [like this one that seems to have had a grip on us or months now] dissipate?

    “…Wednesday all the way to 100 degrees.” April fools

    On a scale of 1 to 111 (the number of losses by the Astros last season) where do you rank the likelyhood that one should pack a poncho for the Shell Houston Open this weekend?

    Eric, do you have any thoughts about a long range temperature/rain forecast for next Saturday. We are doing a volunteer walk.

    Nobody within bigfoot club takes Dyer seriously. Why is Chronicle even covering this con man? Crappy investigative journalism at its finest…
