HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston tied a record high of 95 Wednesday, but cooling downpours are on the way this weekend.
Thursday’s record high looks safe, yet highs will still top out in the low 90s with a heat index near 100. A weak disturbance tracking through could spark a stray shower Thursday morning, but most will stay dry.
Friday’s weather looks similar expect rain chances will be touch higher during the afternoon.
The heat ridge responsible for this early preview of summer weather is retreating. It will get replaced by an upper-level low over Memorial Day weekend.
This will bring back a healthy chance for showers and thunderstorms. We are expecting widely scattered downpours for Memorial Day and rain-cooled highs in the mid 80s. This upper low could hang around for several days next week, which would bring a chance for daily downpours every afternoon once temperatures climb into the 80s.
