Dry weather continues in the Houston area for the foreseeable future with warm to hot afternoons and pleasant mornings. Drought is expanding in Houston, and with that comes elevated wildfire risk, particularly today north and east of Houston. Thankfully, winds look generally light on land.

Houston is not out there setting records, but temperatures are running well above normal for early October. However some modest relief is on the way with a weak front on Thursday. Unfortunately it is unlikely to bring much rain, which we could use with another dry spell ahead.

It was always a tricky forecast, and a number of model ensemble members did take it out to sea, even on Friday when odds of a SE impact were increasing. The GFS actually was one that did it. Tricky patterns are gonna be tricky!

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.
