Fifty mile per hour wind gusts are expected to hit Houston today, and if you haven't planned your commute around that yet, now's the time. This is the lead signal for May fourteenth.
On top of the wind, there's a seventy percent chance of spotty showers throughout the day. The word "spotty" matters here.
Here's what matters beyond the commute. An air quality alert is active for Wednesday.
Looking a little further out, humidity is on the rise. Coastal moisture is expanding, and that matters because it sets up the next shift in the pattern.
