HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Stay hydrated and stay dry! We’ll have a combination of heat and scattered storms again Tuesday and Wednesday, then the rain chances climb higher Thursday when a summer front reaches Houston.
Another upper air disturbance rotating our way from Louisiana will bring another round of scattered thunderstorms Tuesday, especially in the morning hours. Temperatures will warm into the upper 90s. A few more storms could pop up in the afternoon heat.
Similar weather is expected Wednesday with the biggest different being the timing of the rain. Wednesday’s storms will occur primarily in the late afternoon and early evening instead of in the morning.
How will Thursday’s front impact our weather?
This front doesn’t really cool us off much, but the combination of widespread rain clouds and thunderstorms will keep high temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s Thursday and Friday. Thursday’s rain chance is at 70%, the it drops to 40% Friday as drier air aloft filters in behind the front.
What is happening in the tropics?
Erin continues churning through the Atlantic as a major hurricane and will bring big swells and rip currents to the East Coast this week. We are also tracking two tropical waves in the eastern Atlantic, but their future impacts to land, if any, remain uncertain at this time.
