According to the National Weather Service in Houston-Galveston, temperatures will remain in the high 80s to low 90s through Tuesday, with thunderstorms likely overnight, especially around Houston and Galveston. Rain could persist into Wednesday, but the front will bring cooler temperatures by late Wednesday into Thursday. Highs will dip into the mid-80s, offering relief from the humid conditions.
Residents are advised to take precautions on roadways as scattered thunderstorms may cause hazardous driving conditions, particularly along I-45 and US 59. Drivers should stay updated on local weather reports and avoid areas prone to flooding.
