Fall hits this week… but did someone tell the weather? We hate to make promises we can’t keep, but we’re pretty confident that the days of triple-digit highs are behind us for the next nine months or so. The seasons continue, and this week on Friday we’ll officially be in fall. Fortunately, the weather p

First the rain, then temps in the 60s The wet stuff has returned with a vengeance, with thunder rumbling and raindrops pounding on our roofs and windowsills. The Woodlands Online Weather Team would like the personally thank whoever washed their car earlier this week, prompting the rain.

Could we finally be at the tail end of triple-digit temperatures? Can it be? Possibly! It looks like today just might be the final day of high temperatures in the 100s. For weeks – if not months – we’ve been keeping our fingers crossed, and it looks like our fervent wishing might just be paying off. Lower temps, cl

With luck, we might just avoid triple digits this week If you’ve survived The Woodlands weather thus far, then soon it’ll become one of those things that one day you’ll look back on and laugh. For now, however, the giggles of fondness may be in short supply as the record-breaking heat continues. That bei

Red Cross responds to nearly twice as many large disasters in U.S. as a decade ago During National Preparedness Month in September, the Texas Gulf Coast Region urges everyone to prepare for worsening climate disasters affecting our communities, which have experienced wildfires and extreme heat.

Will the rain evaporate before it hits the ground? Week in and week out, weekday and weekend, it’s been pretty much the same story; blazingly sunny and crushingly hot, with pavement you can bake a cake on and grass that crunches under your feet. Barring an apocalyptic solar flare, however, know that

Unfortunately, it’s more of the same for this weekend For those who fear change, you’re in luck; once again, we’re in for yet another weekend of mostly sunny days with high temperatures in the 100s. Even nighttime doesn’t bring too much relief as the overnight lows – which actually hit just before dawn

People in our communities are facing another active year of hurricanes and the American Red Cross, Texas Gulf Coast Region, urges everyone to get ready now and consider becoming a volunteer to help people affected by the growing number of climate-dri

Ain’t gonna lie… it’s gonna be a hot one. We hope that you enjoyed the jacket weather of last week, because this week we’re back to high temperatures in the 100s and daily heat advisories, with ample humidity tagging along to add about 10 degrees to the natural high temp each day. To add ins

We’ll be back in the 100s by the end of the weekend We here at the Woodlands Online Weather offices hope you enjoyed our relatively frigid weather this past week where the highs never got out of the 90s. Those Arctic days are gone – or they will be by Sunday – for a while, so we hope you enjoyed the f

Just ignore the heat index and we won’t break 100 this week We’re nothing if not optimistic at the Woodlands Online Weather offices, and today is a day that metaphorically we break out the parkas and space heaters. The cause for our celebration is that this is the first work week in the past several where the

Your water and electricity bills will jockey for position of which is most expensive We’re halfway through the dog days of summer, the annual period of July 3 through August 11 that are universally agreed on as the hottest and most miserable. The good news – such as it is – is that we’ll be out of them in three weeks, at which point

Flat-out desert-like conditions will dominate this week Once again, we’re facing a week of heat that may not be unprecedented but is nonetheless soul-crushing. The National Weather constantly issues and extends heat advisories like pleas for donations during a PBS telethon, and the Woodlands Online Weathe

It’s definitely not jacket weather We need to start off this weekend weather report with the announcement that the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the area through 9 o’clock Saturday evening, but chances are it’ll be extended.

Independence Week doesn’t bring any freedom from either heat or storm It’s a shorter Woodlands Online Weekly Weather report, because it’s a shorter week thanks to the Independence Day celebrations. However, what we lack in days covered, we more than make up for with unusual weather patterns.

Clouds and winds won’t keep the heat index out of the 100s As our air conditioning units are being pushed to the breaking point and even the public swimming pools feel more like saunas, we’re headed into a holiday weekend of blistering temperatures. One thing to celebrate the weather over is that the ‘raw’ t

Blindingly bright and horrendously hot… welcome to the week! It’s our first full week of summer, and it’s already a scorcher. The devastating storms of last week would be a memory if many of us weren’t still without electricity or wifi. We at the Woodlands Online Weather Center encourage you to stay in cool in

You’ll be picking up the pieces in the heat As we head into the weekend, some of us in The Woodlands are still without power, or having to affect repairs on our roofs. The storm that swiftly raged through the area Wednesday night caused significant damage to the area, leaving practically every
