Houston Residents Bracing for Record Warmth Ahead of Stormy Weather
A powerful Pacific storm system is expected to bring record highs to Southeast Texas in the next week, just ahead of a chance for stormy weather. Temperatures are already warm, with overnight lows dipping down towards 60 degrees and sunshine warming highs into the low-to-mid 80s.
While it may feel warm now, residents can expect even warmer temperatures in the days leading up to the storm system's arrival. Dew on the ground at sunrise is a possibility, particularly in rural areas, but patchy fog could also develop. The good news is that the Gulf breeze will be cranking in more moisture, which increases the chances of rain.
However, it's not until Thursday when thunderstorms are expected to roll in, with severe weather possible due to the warm and humid air. Before then, streamer showers from the Gulf will make their way into the area, bringing a 20% chance of rain. With that sticky Gulf air pushing temperatures into record-warm territory, residents can expect both low and high temperatures to soar.
For now, tropical development in the Atlantic Basin is not expected over the next seven days. Instead, those looking for updates on the tropics should head to ABC13's tropical update page.
With severe weather possible and a 10% chance of rain on Sunday, Houston residents are advised to stay tuned to local news and weather reports for the latest forecast.

! like, i get it, storms are coming, but can't we just have a normal temp for once? 
and btw, who thought 60 degrees at night was a good idea for "normal" temps? 
dew on the ground in rural areas is no joke, btw... anyone with pets needs to be extra careful out there 
! And now you're tellin' me it's gonna get even warmer before the storms roll in? That dew on the ground at sunrise thing is makin' me a little nervous 
. I'm all for stayin' sunny and beautiful, but not when there's a chance of thunderstorms and whatnot. I hope everyone's prepared with their storm prep lists ready to go 
...
. Can't believe it's gonna get that warm and humid before the rain hits 
. Hope everyone stays safe and prepared 
!
record warmth is comin!!! i know it feels hot now but like, get ready for even hotter temps leading up to the storm system lol! dewy mornings & patchy fog are def possible tho 
but yay for that cool gulf breeze bringin in moisture 
can't wait for those streamer showers & rain chances!! 
just stay safe & weather alert everyone 
And btw, 20% chance of rain is basically nothing 
Stormy weather might bring some relief from this crazy heatwave... think again! It's not like we're outta the woods yet... Pacific storm system is gonna hit us with record highs before that, & temps are already climbing towards 80s 
Storms might bring rain but also super high temps so like what's the plan for people who cant even handle that? Shouldn't they be advising people to stay indoors and hydrate more than just "stay tuned"?
gotta stay hydrated and prepared for all the thunderstorms coming our way 
. And Thursday's looking pretty wild, severe weather possible... that's a big ask for our city. Just hope everyone stays safe and prepared
