Scattered storms Sunday and Monday
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Scattered storms lead to some street and area flooding in Houston Saturday afternoon, and there's the chance to see more rain and isolated flooding Sunday as well, though the overall flood threat is lower today than it was yesterday.
We're seeing a few spotty showers this morning, but that will likely increase in coverage through the late morning and afternoon. I have a 30% chance of rain for most of the morning, and a 40% chance in the afternoon. Rain chances are higher (60%) north and west of Harris County. These storms will track from west to east, growing and intensifying and potentially producing heavy rainfall, thunder and lightning at times. And depending on where the heavy rain falls, portions of Southeast Texas could experience street and area flooding once again Sunday afternoon and evening. Besides the rain, Sunday will be a warm and breezy day with highs climbing into the upper 80s.
Does next week look as rainy too?
Thankfully it looks like this wet and rainy pattern will take a back seat next week. While there's still the chance for scattered storms on Monday, by midweek a warmer and drier weather pattern will begin to settle in across the region. This should bring drier days, more sunshine, and a new stretch of 90-degree weather to Houston.
Any 90 degrees summer days on the way?
Yes! As the forecast dries out next week, high temperatures will climb into the low 90s as early as Tuesday and stay there for several days. Heat index values could also reach the upper 90s with high humidity expected too, so now would be a good to time to refresh those hot weather safety tips!
Now that it's hurricane season, what are you tracking in the tropics?
There are two things we are tracking right now. The first is a large plume of Saharan dust currently stretching across the Atlantic from Africa to the Caribbean. The second is the potential for another surge of tropical moisture into the Gulf at the end of next week.
