HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’re shooting back up toward 100 degrees on Thursday, but we’re cooling off at the end of the week as another round of tropical downpours blows in Friday and Saturday.
Temperatures will peak near the record high of 101 degrees set back in 1954. Clouds will increase late in the day from the direction of the Gulf as tropical moisture increases ahead of the disturbance tracking our way.
What should I know about the rain chances late this week?
The tropical moisture reaches Southeast Texas on Friday, sticks around Saturday, and departs on Sunday. At this time we expect the tropical moisture to remain disorganized, but there is a chance it could try to organize into a tropical depression. For now we are predicting scattered downpours starting Friday with another round or two on Saturday. Saturday’s rain will occur earlier in the day, meaning we may not warm out of the 80s!
What’s happening in the tropics?
The main thing we are watching is the tropical moisture that will traverse the northern Gulf waters this week. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
