It looks rather calm and quiet in the Houston area for the foreseeable future. But it will remain fairly hot for autumn. Details on that a non-Gulf tropics update today. #houwx #housky

The Atlantic tropics may be increasingly busy, but the threat of a hurricane striking Texas this year is falling rapidly. We also detail a weak front moving into the region today, and how that will bring us fine, dry weather for awhile after this morning. #houwx

The extraordinary houmidity currently afflicting the region will soon end. Houston also faces the threat of storms and some heavy rainfall later this afternoon and this evening as a cool front moves into the area and eventually pushes off the coast. #houwx

Today will be hot with scattered showers, but Wednesday should be more dynamic as a line of storms pushes into the Houston area ahead of a weak cool front. Some heavy rainfall is possible with the front, but rain totals look highly variable. Then we’ll see sunny and less humid weather. #houwx

An upcoming pattern change brings some rain midweek, and then modestly cooler weather through the weekend. It won’t feel like fall, precisely, but it won’t be August-like either. #houwx

Our late summer slog continues, but @mattlanza.bsky.social says signs of a front next week continue to percolate. We detail when lower humidity may hit, the ragweed situation, and the latest from the tropics today. #houwx #housky

We dive into the precipitation Houston recorded this summer. Most of the region got significantly less than normal, but we're not in a drought. Why? The forecast indicates continued warm-to-hot temperatures and an increase in rain chances. #houwx

Houston will see plenty of sunshine through the weekend, but we will also start to see slightly better rain chances. By later Sunday or more likely Monday, the pattern will change, with increased clouds and the potential for widespread showers. #houwx

The Atlantic tropics are waking up after an uncharacteristic snooze to start September. We also talk about the persistent pattern of late summer weather here in Houston. #houwx

Houston’s sunny and warm, but not super hot weather continues this week. As we get closer to the weekend we may see slightly better rain chances, but don’t expect serious accumulations. Sadly, this is pretty normal for September. #houwx

After some unauthorized showers yesterday, we are fully into "Second Summer" now, with hot weather from now through all of next week. Shower chances are minimal now but pick up a tiny bit Sunday and Monday. Matt has details on how hot in today's post: spacecityweather.com/second-summe...

Today’s forecast is our GIF to you, our beloved readers. Houston’s weather will be unchanging for a while, and it’s been five years since we’ve done a GIF-only forecast. So it’s high time we do it again. #houwx

After a pair of almost fall-like weather days, Houston’s pattern will tilt back toward summer. As high pressure asserts control our forecast looks to be locked in for pretty much the next 10 days: hot days, lots of sunshine, and virtually no chance of rain. #houwx

It’s officially Fall Day in Houston, with the season’s first 65-degree temperature reading 🥶 this morning. We are excited to announce that our Fall Day Celebration will be October 25. Our weather will stay largely unchanging for the next 10 days. Oh, and we also talk tropics. #houwx

We talk about the region’s flirtations with fall, and we are going to have a couple of very fine days with cooler nights. But after this a warmer and more humid pattern returns, although we are beyond the worst of summer. Also: An update on our app! #houwx

The humidity's on the way back (24-hr dewpoint changes shown here), which means so are shower chances this weekend, especially Sunday. But another front's on the way too. Details on all that, as well as a more pronounced return to summer in our forecast today. #houwx #housky

The Houston region will heat up today and Friday, with moderately drier air in place. A combination of factors, including a slow-moving front, will bring elevated rain chances this weekend, particularly on Sunday. Slightly cooler weather will follow. #houwx

In this installment of our regular SCW Q&A feature, we answer two (2!) questions about weather radar, one about CenterPoint's new weather stations, the suddenness of storms and - a favorite around these parts - rising houmidity. (And no, that's not a typo. IYKYK.) #houwx

We discuss the impact of early season fronts along the Gulf Coast, which are somewhat paradoxical. We also look at increasing rain chances in the Houston area due to a front and potentially moisture from a tropical system in the Pacific Ocean. #houwx

Some Houstonians be may believe Summer 2025 felt cooler than is typical - we see what the data says about that. We look ahead to this week's weather in the wake of a front that finally pushed through over the weekend. #houwx

One more day of heavy rain risk in spots before calmer, splendid early September weather this week. @mattlanza.bsky.social with details: spacecityweather.com/after-a-soak...

We interrupt your Labor Day weekend to reinforce that widespread rainfall is likely today and Monday, and there is a risk of excessive rainfall particularly on Sunday. We’re calling for a Stage 1 flood alert out of an abundance of caution. #houwx

We look back at Hurricane Katrina, and what has changed in the 20 years since then. We also discuss a front that will slog into the area and make for a soggy weekend. However, we do expect drier and cooler weather for much of next week, which is a fine way to start September. #houwx

The next two days will feel typical for Houston’s hottest and most humid month, but a front will usher in a pattern change for Labor Day Weekend. Expect higher rain chances on Saturday and Sunday before modestly drier air arrives. High temperatures for the weekend may top out in the 80s. #houwx

We dive a bit deeper into expectations and uncertainties about a front that should push off the coast by Saturday evening, with some inland areas seeing nights in the 60s. But first Houston has a healthy chance of rain today, and again on Saturday. #houwx

A front (!) brings slightly cooler weather to the Houston area and increase the likelihood of rainfall for the upcoming holiday weekend. Also: we review the Atlantic hurricane season to date, and set expectations for the remainder for Texas. #houwx

There are hints of fall weather in our forecast. Monday looks to be hot, but with lower humidity. After today expect a smattering of rain all week, with the weekend looking cooler after a weak front (probably) arrives. Also: we discuss the possibility of more weather balloons in Texas. #houwx

Just wanted to offer a quick PM refresh, as storms are firing all over the area and moving slowly. Couple that with 1-3" per hour rain rates, and it's a good recipe for Stage 1 type street flooding. We've gone ahead and pushed a flood scale update for the rest of the afternoon. More below: #houwx

Some of you may have had a rude early awakening this morning. Well, more shower and storm chances will continue for Houston today & tomorrow. Overall, the coverage and intensity of storms should drop off this weekend and early next week. Matt has the latest on that and the tropics! #housky #houwx

Houston has a favorable setup for rain on Thursday and Friday, with the best conditions closer to the coast. Rains should diminish some this weekend, with Sunday looking especially sunny. Overall, temperatures look moderate for the rest of August. #houwx

Houston may see an additional round of storms this afternoon as a disturbance drops into the area, and then fairly widespread showers are likely on Thursday and Friday. The outlook for the weekend is sunnier, with lower rain chances. #houwx

Hurricane Erin is fighting off dry air and shear this morning, which has caused it to lose intensity but maintain a large size. Two tropical features in the Atlantic behind Erin are worth keeping tabs on, but none looks to be a serious land threat at this time. #weather #hurricaneerin

Please allow us to rant a little bit about August weather in Houston! There's a weak (emphasis on weak, y’all) front moving into the region, which is mostly going to drive increased rain chances on Thursday and Friday as we stay uncomfortably in the 90s. #houwx

Rain chances increase this week, with a wet period most likely from Thursday through Saturday. We also dig deep into an outlook for the rest of the Atlantic hurricane season as we have now entered “go” time for the season and Texas. #houwx

The tropical disturbance we're monitoring will move into S Texas today, perhaps as a short-lived depression. For Houston, that may mean an uptick in storm chances today and tomorrow with localized hefty downpours. Thereafter? More typical August weather. Matt's got more below: #houwx #housky

The National Hurricane Center has raised the odds of a tropical depression or storm forming in the Southern Gulf during the next day or two. We want to quell any fears this may cause Texans. In the Houston area we can expect elevated rain chances on Friday and Saturday, but nothing extreme. #houwx

How cool to see SCW represented down under!

Summer is by no means over, but based on climatological temperatures we have now crested the peak heating for this year. And there’s no sign of extreme heat any time soon, Isolated thunderstorms are a possibility as well. #houwx

Parts of central Houston saw fairly strong showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday, with some areas picking up an inch or more of rain. That pattern of sporadic afternoon storms should occur through Saturday. Also: What's that blob forming in the southern Gulf?. #houwx

Houston faces ongoing heat and decent rain chances, and there’s a new tropical blob in the Gulf. Also, we're excited to share our first stab at a list of regional weather web sites for other locations that are similar in tenor to Space City Weather. #houwx

Invest 97L is on the cusp of becoming a depression this morning. Today, we take a look at what's changed since the weekend about this one's future. While the odds still probably heavily favor an out to sea track, there are some pieces of the puzzle to keep tabs on. More below or at theeyewall.com

Houston will see a pattern this week of typical August temperatures and daily shower chances. We may also see a few isolated downpours and strong winds each day. By this weekend high pressure should begin to build over the area, pushing temperatures up and rain chances downward. #houwx

Alarmed by what some models are showing 14-16 days out? Don't be. While we are empathetic to people getting a little unnerved when they see bad things in that timeframe, those runs, even if 2 or 3 in a row show something similar, are somewhat meaningless. #weather

August is going to August over the next week or so. So today, Matt took some time to dive in deep on the tropical system that some models have showed out in fantasyland (days 13 to 16), and we explain why we watch but don't lose sleep this time of year. Details below. #houwx #housky

Boring and calm weather in August is the ideal for Houston. This will never be a month for nice weather. But it is often a month for nasty weather. Fortunately, this year, we're not seeing that. (So far). #houwx

Houston’s relatively mild start to the month of August is a nice change from some of our recent summers. And really the forecast does not offer much variability, with highs likely in the low- to mid-90s for a while with a splash of daily rain chances. #houwx

You asked questions, and we've answered them! This month in the SCW Q&A: Is it a cool-ish summer? Is the Gulf cooler? NWS cuts? Can you donate? And what's up with our crashing app? #houwx

Rain chances dial back and temperatures go up this week. But for this time of year, the heat could be much worse in Houston. By the weekend most of the area could drop back into the lower 90s. Also, there an increasing likelihood of tropical noise from social media-rologists. #houwx

Houston will see a decent chance of showers and thunderstorms today, but beyond this we should remain hot and mostly sunny, as is often the case in August. Also typical for August: An increase in tropical activity across the Atlantic. #houwx
