"The heat has really been painful this summer, but it’s also kind of kept the door closed on any tropical activity over Texas," Lanza said. The high-pressure system brings dry air and clockwise winds, which would weaken any potential hurricane and push it away from Houston. Lanza said the high pressure will likely dissipate a little around mid-August and Houston could see some rain before the end of the season."

mkultra25 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I'll take 100+ degree temperatures over a hurricane any day. Of course, the worst is a hurricane, followed by the inevitable extended power outage, 90+ degree temps, and high humidity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
