Scattered downpours will fizzle this evening, drier weather for rest of the week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- All the scattered downpours that have popped up today will quickly fade once the sun sets a little before 8 p.m. Based on the latest radar and satellite trends, it appears most of the remaining storms will dodge the city of Houston. Most of the new storm development will be favored north and west of the city.

These lingering downpours can still drop a quick inch or two of rain and produce frequent cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. Minor street flooding is also a possibility.

As the atmosphere dries out overnight, patchy dense fog could again develop for the morning drive. Temperatures will bottom out in the mid 60s. Once the morning clouds and fog burn off, temperatures will climb into the mid 80s. While we cannot completely rule out a stray shower, your chance of getting rain Thursday is 10% or less.

How much longer will this rainy weather stick around?

It's basically over! Rain chances drop down to 10% for Thursday and stay at 20% or less until late next week when a cool front blows in.

What's the outlook for the weekend?

Temperatures will rise back into the upper 80s over the weekend and so will the humidity. Rain chances will stay low under a partly cloudy sky. The sun at this time of year is about as intense as it is in late August, so you can quickly catch a sun burn if you're not careful!

Are there anymore cool fronts in the forecast?

We just might get another one late next week as we say goodbye to April and hello to May. For now we have the front penciled in to arrive next Thursday night with a slim chance of rain followed by a day or two with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s.
