HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After a stormy start on Tuesday, the sky will turn mostly sunny, and we can expect drier but steamy conditions for the afternoon. High temperatures will climb in the upper 80s to the low 90s.

You don’t want to put away your umbrellas quite yet. We are in for multiple rounds of rain and storms for the rest of the week, with the risk of street flooding and severe weather as well.

Any more severe weather or flooding expected this week?

With the kind of pattern setting up this week, we can’t rule out a shower or storm being on the strong to severe side. Hail, gusty winds, and heavy rains will be the main threats with the strongest storms that develop. As for rainfall amounts, most of southeast Texas will pick up one to three inches of rain collectively over the next 7 days. Coastal communities could see less, and our far northern counties could see more. Street flooding will be a concern as the heavy rain falls.

Will it be just as hot with these rainy days?

Not necessarily! With rain and the inherent cloud cover we typically get during these rainy and stormy days, afternoon high temperatures for this week and into the first few days of June will likely be closer to their seasonal average, in the mid-to-upper 80s. The catch, though, is that if a shower or storm rolls through. While that will cool you off in the short term, it’ll also make it feel extremely muggy at times. We are also expecting mold counts to go up with the week during this unsettled and rainy stretch.

Hurricane season begins in less than a week. What can we expect this season?

Hurricane season begins on June 1, and this year we are anticipating another active one. Both hurricane outlooks from NOAA and Colorado State University predict an above-normal season. From NOAA specifically, the prediction is 13 to 19 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes, and possibly three to five major hurricanes. Two big reasons are the lack of an El Niño or La Niña and the trend of seeing warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures. And while these outlooks aren’t landfall forecasts for the United States, given these conditions, there is the possibility for storms to move into the Gulf this year.
