HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Rain chances are not expected to be as widespread as what we saw this weekend but daily downpours are still a possibility.
There’s a chance to see more scattered showers and storms on Monday. Isolated rain will be possible during the morning hours near the coast and should lift north in the afternoon. Severe risk is low but an isolated strong to severe storm with gusty winds will be a possibility. Temperatures on Monday will be slightly dependent on whether you experience rain near you, so they’ll either be in the mid-to-upper 80s or low 90s during the day.
When can we expect some drier weather?
Right now we have a daily rain chance throughout the week, but it’s 60% or less starting Monday. Every day should feature a muggy morning in the 70s and a hot afternoon in the mid-90s before scattered showers and storms pop up to cool things off in some Houston-area neighborhoods.
When the forecast turns drier, will it also get hotter?
Yep! But it’s a gradual warm-up for now. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-90s when a drier pattern takes over heading into the weekend.
Any triple-digit days on the horizon?
Not at this time. However, a triple-digit heat index could return next weekend with high humidity and high temperatures in the mid-90s. Houston’s first 100-degree day is typically in mid-late June, though!
What’s happening in the tropics?
At this time, the Atlantic basin is filled with a Saharan dust cloud, limiting tropical development and bringing a slightly hazy sky to Southeast Texas. Meanwhile, Dalila is spinning off the Pacific coast of Mexico. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
