HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Our rain chances are dropping lower over the weekend, but we’ve still got enough moisture around to squeeze out a few showers Saturday and Sunday.
We should have more sun poking through the clouds Saturday than we saw on Friday, so it should get a little hotter with highs topping out in the mid 90s. There’s a 30% chance of showers in the morning with some isolated thunderstorms possible in the afternoon.
Major flooding is ongoing in the Hill Country west of I-35, and with more rain coming, please stay weather aware and use caution if your holiday weekend travel plans take you there.
What’s in store for the rest of the weekend and early next week?
Sunday’s rain chance drop down to 20% as moisture levels drop even more. Temperatures will climb into the mid 90s with a heat index above 100. Another batch of moisture rolls in here on Monday along with an upper air disturbance, pushing those rain odds up to 30% Monday and 40% Tuesday.
Is any triple digit heat in the forecast?
Not at this time. In fact, we still haven’t hit 100 so far this summer! It no longer looks like a heat ridge will park on us next week, so we’re predicting highs in the mid-to-upper 90s with a slim chance for an afternoon shower most days next week.
What’s happening in the tropics?
