HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A lot of water fell over Southeast Texas since Sunday morning, but thankfully we all catch a break for at least Tuesday.
With the wet ground north and east of Houston, fog is likely to form as temperatures drop into the mid 60s. The fog could get dense in spots, so be prepared for a longer drive in to work and school.
During the afternoon we expect the smoky haze from Mexico to return, decreasing air quality and turning the sky more gray than blue. Still, enough sunshine should break through to warm temperatures into the mid 80s.
We cannot rule out an isolated afternoon showers, but most of us should stay dry.
Rain chances will creep up to 30% on Wednesday and 40% on Thursday and Friday. The weather pattern this week will feature strong jet stream winds over Texas, which will push disturbances through the state that can morph into thunderstorm complexes. These complexes can be difficult to predict more than 12 hours in advance, so stay informed and nimble with your plans this week. At this time we think Thursday and Friday bring our highest chances of getting storms from one of those complexes.
Yes, it is possible that any storm complex that blows through could bring heavy rain and severe weather. We'll keep you posted.
It no longer looks like we'll get a front during the first week of May, but there's still a chance one more cool front could make it down here before the summer heat settles in for good. In fact, next week we see a heat ridge building in that will push our highs into the low 90s for the first time in 2024...stay cool!
