Houston, TX – The Houston area is finally experiencing relief from the relentless hot and sticky summer weather. After a weak cold front moved through the region, the humidity levels have dropped significantly, bringing much-needed crisp and refreshing air to locals.
This welcome change features comfortable dew points in the 50s, making outdoor mornings far more pleasant than what residents have endured for months.
A Refreshing Turn in Tuesday Morning’s Forecast
Tuesday morning will mark the coolest start Houston has seen since mid-May, with lows dipping into the mid-60s across much of the city. Outlying areas might experience temperatures falling into the upper-50s, presenting a rare and beautiful window to enjoy being outdoors without the overwhelming muggy heat.
This will be the first time since May that morning temperatures reach the 60s in Houston, a significant relief for many who have faced persistently warm, sticky mornings throughout the summer months.
Daytime Warmth with Abundant Sunshine
Despite the reduced humidity, daytime highs will remain relatively warm. Temperatures will begin in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees on Monday and are expected to gradually climb back into the mid-90s by week’s end.
Sunshine will be a near-constant companion after a summer full of cloudy skies and sporadic rain showers. The combination of drier air and clear skies is expected to make afternoons feel more comfortable compared to the recent ‘soupy’ heat that has characterized Houston’s weather.
Temporary Relief Before Late Week Changes
As typical for Houston in September, this cooler, drier air mass won’t last long. Starting Thursday, humidity is forecast to return, pushing morning temperatures back up to the mid-70s by Friday, which aligns with seasonal averages.
Quiet Tropical Outlook Amid Peak Hurricane Season
Notably, the tropical Atlantic Basin remains calm with no tropical development expected over the next week, a stark contrast for the week of September 10, the statistical peak of hurricane season when activity is usually at its highest.
While current conditions are stable, meteorologists are monitoring the Gulf boundary, where models suggest a possibility of a weak low-pressure system forming by the end of the week. Although this is not an immediate concern, caution and preparedness remain important.
“Make sure your family is prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season,” meteorologists advise, encouraging residents to review reliable resources.
Extended Forecast and Community Engagement
- Afternoon highs will remain warm (upper 80s to low 90s) throughout the week.
- Sunshine will dominate the forecast, making mornings ideal to enjoy the brief taste of fall.
- Humidity and temperatures will rebound toward the end of the week with highs climbing back into the mid-90s.
- The area is expected to remain rain-free for the entire 10-day forecast period.
