Houston heat wave: Temperatures climb toward 100° this week as rain chances fade

Early Week Forecast:

High pressure continues to bringing a hot, humid and dry weather pattern that looks to stick around beyond Monday. In fact, this could be one of the hottest weeks we’ll see for most of the remainder of our late summer.

Houston won’t get an opportunity at rain until late week, and the chance is only around 20%.

Temperatures will climb into the upper 90s, with the potential to hit 100° on a few days this week. With the humidity, it will feel even hotter.

Lala and Hawaii:

Lala did not make landfall, but it did bring a foot of rain across parts of the Big Island, as it passed just to the south of southern tip. Hurricane force winds hit parts of the big island lashing trees and knocking out power.

Waves as high as twenty feet lashed the southern parts of Hawaii.

The storm continues to pull away from Hawaii and should restrengthen into a hurricane out in the central Pacific.

Atlantic Ocean:

While the Pacific Ocean has Lala, the Atlantic basin has dry air and strong wind shear. This is preventing the disturbances from strengthening. No activity is expected over the next 7 days.

10 Day Forecast:

We’re in for one of the hottest stretches of late summer in a while. Expect to see highs near 100 for most of this week before a few rain chances move in for the weekend.
