Houston is bracing for another sweltering September day, with temperatures expected to soar into the mid to upper 90s. Residents can anticipate near-record heat, as the record high for today stands at 98°F, a mark set back in 2023.
While there is a slight chance of a few showers and thunderstorms, the majority of the area is likely to remain dry throughout the day.
Looking ahead to Friday, a weak front is expected to move in, bringing slightly drier air and reducing humidity levels. Although it won’t feel like autumn just yet, Friday will be noticeably less humid, with temperatures still reaching the low to mid 90s.
As the weekend approaches, the heat will persist, maintaining mostly dry conditions with highs in the low to mid 90s. However, storm chances will begin to rise early next week, as wetter and stormier weather is on the horizon, which may help to temper the high temperatures.
