High-Pressure Dome Drives Warm, Dry Weekend as Chicago Braces for a Quick Cooldown

Houston approaches daily heat records, with early‑week rain chances offering limited relief.

Overview

  • A broad ridge sustains unseasonably warm, mostly sunny weather through the weekend across several regions, with South Florida near 80 degrees and low rain chances.
  • South Florida’s beach and boating weather is generally favorable, though cooler mid‑70s water and an elevated rip current risk are noted from Friday into Saturday.
  • Forecasters expect the dome of high pressure to keep South Florida largely dry into next week as incoming fronts weaken.
  • The Houston area trends into the mid‑80s with daily record highs at risk from Sunday through Wednesday, even as widespread moderate to severe drought persists.
  • Rain prospects in Southeast Texas increase Tuesday into late week, with about 1–2 inches possible per models and potential for stronger systems later in November flagged as uncertain.
  • Chicago stays mild into Saturday with highs near the low 70s before a Saturday evening front brings a sharp cooldown and gusts up to 25–35 mph, with showers Monday night into Tuesday and a cooler week in the 40s.
