Heat, Humidity Linger in Houston as Texans Opener Stays Mostly Dry

Forecasters expect isolated showers with continued heat across Southeast Texas.

Overview

  • Daytime highs hold in the mid-90s with muggy conditions and overnight lows in the mid-70s.
  • For the Texans’ home opener, temperatures are near 94°F during tailgating, around 92°F at the 6 p.m. kickoff, then slide into the 80s by late game with southeast winds at 5–10 mph.
  • Any showers that form are expected to be brief and light, offering only a quick cool-down before moving on.
  • The best chance for a stray shower comes in the afternoon, with FOX 26 favoring areas south of I-10 and KPRC highlighting zones north of Harris County into Wharton and Matagorda, and most activity fades by sunset.
  • Seven-day rainfall totals are projected to stay below a half inch for most areas as a hot pattern persists, and the National Hurricane Center is monitoring an eastern Atlantic wave with about a 60% development chance that is not projected to threaten Texas.
