Drying out overnight, pleasant Tuesday ahead

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We are drying out for the rest of the work week, but early next week we could get another healthy dose of rain.

A light northeasterly wind continues overnight, helping to clear out the sky and drop temperatures into the low-to-mid 60s. The average low this time of year is 67-degrees.

We'll get a healthy dose of sunshine throughout the day, boosting temperatures toward a seasonal high of 87-degrees.

It's been quite rainy lately. Is any more rain expected this week?

Not for the work week! A strong Gulf breeze developing over the weekend will bring back enough moisture for a 20% chance of showers over the weekend.

How about these 90-degree days we saw over the weekend. Any more of those?

Yep. We have highs in the low 90s Wednesday through Friday, and it will get close to 90 both Saturday and Sunday. The humidity will stay at a tolerable level until the weekend. That's when the real steam returns.

What's the latest on drought conditions with all this rain?

We continue to see improvements! In fact, most of Houston and Harris County are now drought-free, and the intensity has lessened all across Southeast Texas. Given the hefty regional rains over the weekend, we should see continued reductions in drought conditions across Southeast Texas when we get our next drought update on Thursday morning.

What's the early word on next week's storm system?

We are eyeing an upper level storm to impact us around Tuesday of next week that could bring more widespread rain to Southeast Texas. There are also signs that a weak front could slide underneath it, which could enhance rain totals even more. Details are sketchy at this time, but we'll keep you posted!
