Dense fog possible tonight, drier weather for the rest of May

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Out with the rain, in with the fog! With the sky clearing out overnight but the humidity staying high, dense fog is likely to develop across a large part of Southeast Texas. You might want to pad in some extra time for your morning drive, especially if it involves any driving across more rural locations.

Thursday afternoon will be significantly drier after the morning fog and clouds burn off. All the sunshine should allow temperatures to climb into the upper 80s with just a 20% chance of afternoon showers.

Do we have any more rainy weather systems on the way this week?

Nope! While isolated showers and storms are possible in the afternoons, we can generally expect a warmer and drier weather pattern through the weekend.

Does this mean it's about to get really hot?

Not exactly, but it will be noticeably warmer with the lack of rain clouds. Temperatures will trend up toward 90 the next few afternoons.

Hurricane season starts next week. Is there anything brewing out there?

No activity is expected over the next 7 days across the Atlantic basic, but we will be watching a lot of moisture pile up near a stalled out front over the Gulf during the first week of June. There are some signs low pressure could spin up in that mess of moisture, but it's too soon to know where the tropical moisture will end up. For now we have our rain chances low next week at just 30%.
