A glimmer of hope for needed rainfall early next week

0

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Near record heat and mostly dry weather to round out your week, but there are subtle signs that moisture levels will rise enough to bring an isolated shower or two in the days ahead.

Highs are on the way to rising into the low to mid 90s under a partly cloudy sky this afternoon, and while a spotty shower or downpour is possible, the coverage is very limited at just 10%.

When does the humid air return?

We’ll get a little bump in the humidity Friday, which will bring a 10% chance of passing showers primarily south of I-10. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait until early next week for some tropical moisture to bring higher rain chances.

How promising are the rain chances looking early next week?

For now we have rain chances at 10% Sunday, 30% Monday, and 30% Tuesday. These rain chances all hinge on the track of a weak zone of low pressure that will track westward across the Gulf from Florida to Texas.

What is happening in the tropics?

We are monitoring tropical waves near Florida, and over the far eastern Atlantic that have a low chance for development. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
