Discussion
As you peruse this forecast, you may notice the lack of any reference to any clouds and precipitation! This is one of the drier predictions for Houston that I have ever made, brought about by an upper air alignment featuring a persistent upper low or trough in New England, and a ridge complex setting up from California into the lower Great Plains. This configuration looks to persist until March 19, when a fairly vigorous trough and storm may bring much needed showers and thunderstorms to Texas and the rest of the eastern two-thirds of the nation. Until that time, a cool and dry air mass will give way to warmer (and eventually) more moist regime this coming weekend.
