HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ll see a few storms around this afternoon, but the coverage should stay around 30%. Tropical moisture moving in from the Gulf will spark scattered, heavy downpours Sunday afternoon and evening, with rain chances climbing to 60%.
How much longer will this wet weather last?
After a wave of tropical moisture clips us on Sunday to bring the rain chance up to 60%, the faucet will shut off for the first days of July as a Saharan dust cloud blows overhead.
What’s the early outlook for July 4th and the Freedom Over Texas fireworks show?
At this time it looks dry but hot! Temperatures will peak near 100 with heat index values well above 100.
What’s happening in the tropics?
A disturbance we’re monitoring in the southern Gulf is up to a 50% chance for development over the next 2 days. Most of the moisture from that tropical wave is headed to Mexico but a small amount of it will give us some tropical downpours on Sunday. Meanwhile, another storm is threatening to form south of Mexico in the eastern Pacific. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
