Fog likely in the morning, more rain coming later this week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Thunderstorms are expected to return later this week, but it will be dense fog in the morning that could slow you down.

Widespread fog is likely to develop by sunrise, and it could be dense in spots. Temperatures will bottom out in the upper 50s and low 60s. Once the fog burns off, temperatures will soar toward 90 degrees, well above the average high of 76 degrees. Ozone pollution levels could get into an unhealthy range during the hottest time of the day, and an Ozone Pollution Watch is in effect.

When do the rain chances return?

An upper-level storm system will swing through Texas on Friday, and that will bring rain back to Southeast Texas as early as Thursday afternoon. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected Thursday night and Friday.

How much rain are we expecting?

We believe 1 to 3" will be common across Southeast Texas. Of course some will get less and some will get more, but that's the general expectation at this time. Isolated street flooding is possible as well as ponding on roadways where the heaviest storms set up.

Could any storms turn severe?

We cannot rule out a severe thunderstorm at this time, but the overall risk appears low at this time.

Will it continue to rain into the weekend?

A few lingering showers are possible Saturday morning, and we currently have your rain chance at 20%. On Sunday, another storm system will approach from the north, and that could sneak in a line of thunderstorms late in the day. Your chance of getting measurable rain for Sunday is currently at 30%.
