Get ready for a dry, hazy, and hot weekend

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The isolated showers a few of us saw Friday afternoon will be a thing of the past this weekend as high pressure moves in. It'll be hot and hazy too.

What does the weekend look like?

As of now, much drier! Looks like the rainy pattern we had this week is leaving as high pressure moves in. This also means temperatures are going to warm up too. Expect more sunshine each day this weekend with highs back into the middle 90s. Feels like temps will rise to the 102-105 range. And a cloud of Saharan dust will be overhead the entire weekend giving us a hazy sky.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

There are two areas the National Hurricane Center is monitoring for potential development. There's a far east Atlantic wave near the Cabo Verde Islands that has a 10% chance. Closer to home, a disturbance in the eastern Gulf has a 30% chance to develop. For now, impacts to Texas is unlikely but heavy rain is expected to fall over Florida and eventually Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
