Houston Residents Face Record Warm Temperatures Before Severe Weather Arrives
Texans are bracing for a sweltering week ahead of a powerful Pacific storm system that promises to bring severe weather and potentially shatter heat records. Currently, temperatures in the low 60s this morning will surge into the mid-80s by tomorrow, with highs threatening to tie or break the city's temperature record.
As warm air from the Gulf of Mexico pushes its way inland, it's also bringing a chance of scattered showers, but don't expect relief just yet. The storm system's arrival on Thursday is likely to bring round thunderstorms, which may even lead to severe weather given the already humid conditions. But for now, forecasters are warning of another 10-20% chance of rain in the days leading up to its arrival.
Meanwhile, temperatures will plummet behind the storms, with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s - still a far cry from the chilly temperatures experienced during previous cold fronts. It's a reminder that even as Houston pushes through record warmth, the weather is always subject to drastic changes.
Looking ahead to the tropics, tropical development is not expected over the next seven days. But for those seeking more detailed updates on tropical activity, head to ABC13's tropical update page.
In the meantime, residents are advised to grab their umbrellas and heat stress medications - just in case severe weather hits. Stay tuned to local news sources for further updates as this story continues to unfold.

! Like, 10-20% chance of rain now? Not enough to make a difference, if you ask me 
. But seriously, record heat records are bad news - I feel for the people who have to deal with it. And then we get severe weather on top of that? Stay safe, Houston! 
. Anyway, stay dry and cool (ish) - we'll be keeping an eye on this storm system 
!
got a bad feeling about this one... Texans already dealing with record warm temps before some crazy storm system comes in... mid 80s by tomorrow?!?! 
that's insane, especially after all the heatwaves we've had lately. And don't even get me started on the scattered showers and potential severe weather... just what Houston needs, right? 
plus, tropical development is basically non-existent for now, so who knows when things will actually heat up (pun intended). grab those umbrellas and heat stress meds just in case... seems like we're all stuck with a long week of crazy weather 
. But seriously, 10-20% chance of rain is still better than nothing, right? And hey, if we're gonna get some severe weather, at least it'll be exciting (and hopefully not too destructive). The tropical update page is always a good place to stay informed, and I love that they're giving us daily updates. It's like having our own personal weather forecast friend 
. Fingers crossed everyone stays safe and cool! 
. Like, can't we just get some consistency with the weather? Anyway, I'm not a fan of how prepared everyone is for severe weather but not so much for heat stress 
. Grabbing an umbrella is one thing but can you imagine if it's super hot and humid like that when the storm hits? Not fun 
.
anyone got any tips on how to survive this heat wave?!?! 
And btw, has anyone else thought about investing in those fancy heat stress medications? 
Just kidding, sorta 
.
! But on a positive note, think of all the amazing outdoor activities Houston will be able to enjoy with the warmer weather? It's like Mother Nature is giving us a little preview of summer 
! And let's not forget about all the heat stress medications being stockpiled – now those are prepping for the future, right? 
I guess you could say it's like Houston is getting a warm-up before the stormy weather sets in 
.
. But seriously, it's crazy how quickly temps drop after all that heat... like, can we just get some decent weather for once? 
. Hoping they have enough supplies and precautions in place 
.
. And don't even get me started on the heat stress meds... like that's gonna help if we're already drenched in sweat 
anyway, just making sure everyone is prepared with their umbrellas and heat stress meds...
