Sunshine for Memorial Day, still the chance for a few pop-up storms

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- While the heavy rain and flood threat is over for the long weekend, we could still see a few pop-up storms on this Memorial Day. We've also got an ABC13 Weather Watch for Wednesday ahead of our next stormy weather system that could lead to street flooding.

As for today, we've got a small chance for isolated hailstorms this afternoon generally along and north of the I-10 corridor. Your chance of getting rain is only 30%, but you'll want to keep an eye on the radar if you have outdoors plans. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

Otherwise we'll see highs climb into the upper 80s in the afternoon sunshine. An Ozone Pollution Watch is in effect for Harris, Galveston and Brazoria counties Monday. Unhealthy levels of ozone are possible particularly in the late afternoon and early evening.

When will this storm pattern come to an end?

We will have lower rain chances both Memorial Day and Tuesday, but another upper-level storm is expected to swing through with a high chance of rain on Wednesday. This one will also bring a risk of street flooding and severe weather, so we have already put out an ABC13 Weather Watch. After the middle of the week, we should turn hotter and drier for the final weekend of May.

Any 90-degree days on the way?

Once we get through a few more days with showers and storms this week, the last weekend of May is looking hotter with highs at or near 90 degrees. And even if the thermometer doesn't hit 90 next Saturday or Sunday, it'll certainly feel like it with heat index values in the low-mid 90s each day.

Hurricane season begins in a week! Anything of note?

Nope! No activity is expected in the next 7 days across the Atlantic. The main reason why is because of large plume of Saharan dust moving across the deep tropics this week.

13 ALERT RADAR MAPS:
Southeast Texas
Houston
Harris County
Galveston County
Montgomery/Walker/San Jacinto/Polk/Grimes Counties
Fort Bend/Wharton/Colorado Counties
Brazoria/Matagorda Counties
