HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’re closing out May on a dry note, but tropical moisture could bring downpours back to Houston next week, just in time for the start of Hurricane Season.
What should we expect today?
Mostly rain-free and hot with highs around 90 degrees. I say “mostly” dry, because there’s about a 10% chance of a stray coastal shower on Sunday. The Gulf breeze will kick back in to help clean up the air quality under a partly cloudy sky, but also make for noticeable humidity throughout the day.
What can you tell me about next week’s rain?
Monday should be mostly dry with only a 20% chance. Deeper moisture moves in on Tuesday giving us scattered storms. Much deeper moisture may not make it here until late next week. Friday and next weekend will feature scattered, heavy downpours of rain.
Hurricane season starts next week. Is there anything brewing out there?
The National Hurricane Center expects no tropical development over the next 7 days across the Atlantic basin, but we will be watching a lot of moisture pile up over the western Gulf during the first week of June. There are some signs low pressure could spin up in that mess of moisture, but it’s too soon to know where the tropical moisture will end up. For now we have our rain chances low at 20%-40% most days next week.
