HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Drier air moving in through Thursday will give us less rain and hotter temps. A quick round of Saharan dust will blow in on Wednesday and give us a hazy sky for a day. Then we’ll be watching an area of tropical moisture moving in from the Gulf by the end of the week.
Does the tropical system east of Florida have a chance for development?
Yes. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a 40% chance for development over the next couple of days, as it moves through the northern Gulf.
Is there a chance the system makes it to the upper Texas coast at some point?
The chance of it making it to the Texas coast as a tropical storm is lower today. Most models track it near the Gulf coast, then take it towards Louisiana.
What should I be doing right now to prepare?
Pay close attention to the forecast this week. Although the system has a medium chance of becoming a tropical system, it could bring us some heavy downpours Friday and Saturday. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
