Scorching, muggy weather forecasted for Friday in Houston
Houston, Texas is set to experience hot and humid weather on August 8, 2025, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and mostly sunny skies. According to the latest forecast, there is limited coverage of isolated showers or storms mainly in the afternoon [1][3][5].
The weather conditions on August 7 were similar, with scattered showers or storms more likely in the southern parts of Houston. The temperatures were around the upper 90s where storms did not occur [3][5]. August 8 will maintain this pattern with mostly sunny and humid conditions, some isolated storms near the coast and inland afternoon sea breeze storms.
As we move into the weekend, the high pressure that has been keeping the heat active will begin to weaken, allowing more moisture and storm chances from August 9 onward [3][5]. This means there is a good chance for rain on Sunday and Monday. Lower pressure is expected to move in on Saturday, bringing higher chances for scattered showers and storms [1].
In other parts of the Atlantic, two tropical waves are being watched. The first could potentially become a tropical storm or even a hurricane over the next 7 days, but it doesn't appear to be a threat to Texas. Meanwhile, Dexter, a system in the north Atlantic Ocean, has moved over the open ocean and poses no concern for the US [2].
Elsewhere, a small low could develop between the Carolinas and Bermuda, but it doesn't look very impressive. The second tropical wave is still very far away and its future is uncertain, but longer-term models are showing it becoming an intense storm in about 10-12 days [4].
With the potential for heavy storms during the afternoons on Sunday and Monday, weather awareness is advised. Stay tuned for updates as the forecast evolves.
