HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Tropical moisture will graze parts of Southeast Texas again on Saturday to bring a glimmer of hope for some needed rain, then next week it turns completely sunny and dry again as a slight cooldown arrives.
How is the weekend shaping up?
We have a 20% chance of rain showers Saturday for locations mainly south of I-10, but by Sunday those rain chances are gone. Highs will reach into the low-to-mid 90s both days with lows in the low 70s. Sunday’s record high of 94 is in jeopardy of falling.
When is our next cool front coming?
The next front should arrive on Monday, but it will ironically spike high temperatures into record territory Monday afternoon. This front looks to pass through dry, and it should deliver a more noticeable temperature drop with highs in the 80s and lows in the low 60s for most of next week. In fact, it’s possible some of us will enjoy lows in the upper 50s for a few mornings!
What are you tracking in the tropics?
We’re monitoring an area in the Gulf that has a high chance of development. Steering currents will push this system toward the Florida peninsula with direct impacts expected on Tuesday or Wednesday. Meanwhile, the deep tropics and Atlantic are very active right now with Kirk and Leslie over the open waters. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for the latest on what’s happening in the tropics.
