Warm and humid week ahead with increasing rain chances

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We've got a warm week ahead with rain chances increasing into the end of the week. The next best chance for showers and storms, potentially a few strong to severe ones, is Thursday.

Temperatures Sunday night will only fall into the low 70s by Monday morning. Monday will start off humid and cloudy with a breeze picking up throughout the day. Winds could gust up to 25 mph at times Monday with temperatures rising into the upper 80s. It will be a little cloudier tomorrow, but we should see a little sunshine in the afternoon.

When's our next rain chance?

Rain chances climb this week with a few showers and storms possible Wednesday, though the best chance for rain this week at this point is Thursday. A cold front will move through North Texas, allowing for strong storms to develop near Waco and Dallas. those storms could then push towards the coast Thursday evening, moving through Southeast Texas. That front will then reach Houston Friday, with lingering showers and storms possible the last day of the week. This weather pattern could also open the door for a bit of an unsettled stretch with a daily rain chance in the forecast next weekend and heading into the first week of May.

Any potential severe weather for Houston?

At this time Southeast Texas is not included in any severe weather risk areas of the week, but that doesn't rule it out completely. Thursday and Friday will be two days to watch., though whenever there's rain in the forecast we can't rule out the chance for an isolated strong storm.
