Isolated showers possible in the Tuesday afternoon heat

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- This week we're in a typical summertime weather pattern that brings hot, humid Gulf air and a small chance of an afternoon shower. Early next week, rain chances will increase slightly as tropical moisture briefly visits Southeast Texas.

Overnight lows will again dip into the mid-to-upper 70s. High temperatures should reach the upper 90s in the afternoon with a a peak heat index closer to 105. There will be just enough moisture in the air for isolated showers to pop up along the sea breeze front that rolls in from the Gulf on most summer days. Your chance of rain is only 20%, so don't bank on it.

Any more rain in the forecast?

Yes, but don't get your hopes up too much. It's at best a 20% chance through Thursday, climbing to 30% Friday and Saturday. Our highest chance of rain over the next 10 days looks to land on Monday of next week when a batch of tropical moisture blows overhead, boosting rain chances to 40%.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

Saharan dust is the primary thing we are tracking at this time. Visit our Tropical Update page for a more in-depth tropical weather discussion and forecast.
