Ozone pollution possible Friday, thunderstorms return next week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It should stay dry for the rest of May, but tropical moisture could bring downpours back to Houston next week.

Overnight we expect temperatures to drop down to a seasonal low around 71 degrees. Patchy dense fog could develop ahead of sunrise, especially in rural parts of Southeast Texas. We are in for another hot afternoon with highs around 90. There is also an Ozone Pollution Watch in effect due to the light southwesterly winds, sunshine, and warm temperatures. Ozone is a lung irritant that can trigger a dry cough and asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.

What should we expect for the weekend?

It should stay mostly rain-free and hot with highs around 90 both days. The Gulf breeze will kick back in to help clean up the air quality under a partly cloudy sky.

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

The National Hurricane Center expects no tropical development over the next 7 days across the Atlantic basin, but we will be watching a lot of moisture pile up over the western 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 at 30%-40% most day next week.
