Drier and breezy Monday with a spot shower or two
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- After a stormy start to the week early Monday morning, we've got a drier and breezy day with the chance for a spot shower or two.
Monday will be drier and breezy with the chance for a few showers and isolated storms to pop up during the afternoon. We'll see more clearing into the afternoon to allow for temperatures to warm back up into the mid 80s, but it likely wont feel as hot and humid outside as what we had over the weekend.
It's been quite rainy lately. Is any more rain expected this week?
This week starts off fairly dry once the front clears early Monday morning. Rain chances will stay very low throughout the week with higher moisture levels not returning until the weekend. So overall the work week is on the drier side, but it'll definitely be warming up.
How about these 90-degree days we saw over the weekend. Any more of those?
Given that average high temperatures in mid-May are usually in the mid 80s, our warmest days are going to trend to be close to 90-degrees and likely with a heat index that'll make it feel that warm. Later this week we'll get a taste of summer once again as a heat dome slides over the state, keeping afternoon highs in the upper 80s or low 90s beginning Wednesday through the weekend. Mornings could be especially warm and muggy too by Friday in the mid 70s.
What's the latest on drought conditions with all this rain?
We continue to see improvements! In fact, most of Houston and Harris County are now drought-free, and the intensity has lessened all across Southeast Texas. With more rain the forecast these next few days, we should see continued reductions in drought conditions across the region.
