Trading storms for sunshine, drier weather for the rest of May

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We're trading storms for sunshine into the weekend with drier weather for the rest of May.

This afternoon will remain mostly sunny and rain-free. There is also an Ozone Pollution Watch in effect for both today and tomorrow due to the light winds, sunshine, and warm temperatures.

Do we have any more rainy weather systems on the way this week?

Nope! While isolated showers and storms are possible in the afternoons, we can generally expect a warmer and drier weather pattern through the weekend.

Does this mean it's about to get really hot?

Not exactly, but it will be noticeably warmer with the lack of rain clouds. Temperatures will trend up toward 90 the next few afternoons.

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

No activity is expected over the next 7 days across the Atlantic basic, but we will be watching a lot of moisture pile up near a stalled out front over the 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 next week at just 30%.
