Hot with a few showers possible Friday
We're tracking another batch of tropical moisture that should slightly boost our rain chances on Friday.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Rain chances increase slightly Friday as a pocket of deeper Gulf moisture moves in. The August heat sticks around. Heat index values could approach Heat Advisory levels in some spots at times.

What can we expect for Friday?

The best chance we have left for a few showers and storms lands on Friday when tropical moisture arrives. The clouds associated with the showers may keep our high temps in the middle 90s where they should be this time of year.

What about the weekend with the Pride Houston Parade?

It's going to be a hot, humid, and mostly rain-free weekend. A heat dome will begin to settle in across the region over the weekend, likely giving highs a boost into the upper 90s. The heat index both Saturday and Sunday afternoon could peak near 107 degrees. There is a 10% chance of an afternoon shower on Saturday with no rain expected on Sunday.

What's happening in the tropics?

Cristobal dissipates in the far north Atlantic. A tropical wave just off the west coast of Africa has a 50% chance for development. Another wave in the central Atlantic hac an 60% chance as it tracks towards the Caribbean this weekend.
