HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’ll feel like summer this long holiday weekend with humid mornings, sunny and hot afternoons with the chance for a few showers and storms on Memorial Day.

Early on this morning there are stronger storms along the I-10 corridor near San Antonio. A few of those storms could track close the Brazos River and Matagorda Bay before sunrise Friday. Gusty winds, heavy rain, small hail and lots of lightning are possibilities with these storms.

Friday morning is another steamy one with morning lows in the mid 70s. You’ll feel the humidity when you step out the door this morning, then those humid conditions will make it feel even hotter by the afternoon. Temperatures will climb into the low-mid 90s today with a heat index making it feels like the upper 90s or even 100 degrees at times. And after a cloudy start, we’ll see more sunshine Friday afternoon.

When could we get some rain again?

Rain chances return for the holiday with the highest chance of rain peaking the day after Memorial Day when another front pushes into Southeast Texas. At this time, we have a 20% chance for Saturday, a 20% chance for Sunday, a 40% chance for Monday, and a 60% chance for next Tuesday.

Will the Memorial Day front bring us any sustained heat relief?

Yes! The combination of clouds and rain will drop highs back into the 80s for most of next week, which is more typical for late May.

Hurricane seasons begins in just over a week. What can we expect this season?

Hurricane season begins on June 1st 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 predication is 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes and possibly 3 to 5 major hurricanes. Two big reasons why are because of the lack of an El Nino or La Nina 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.
