HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Rain chances continue to peak in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday.
What’s in store for the weekend?
The weekend will be hot but nothing extreme for August. There’s a 30% chance of a downpour today, with a 40% chance tomorrow as the heat dome moves away and an upper level low develops over the Texas coastline.
How does the weather look for those going back to school next week?
It’s looking like typical August weather! It will be hot with highs near averages in the mid 90s, and every afternoon there’s a 30%-40% chance for showers and thunderstorms. These storms could impact afternoon recesses and after-school activities.
What’s happening in the tropics?
Dexter has dissipated and is no longer a threat. We are also monitoring two areas of potential development, one off the East Coast and one over the central Atlantic. We continue to see signs that the tropics may become even more active the second half of August as wind shear relaxes across the Gulf, Caribbean, and West Atlantic. Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific remains very active. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
