Turning increasingly hot and humid into next week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- There's a low chance you see a spotty rain shower today, but today's 20% chance is the last shot of rain we'll see for at least the next 5 days, if not longer.

What should we expect for the rest of the weekend?

A pocket of Gulf moisture blowing through Sunday afternoon should be good enough for a 20% chance of isolated showers. High temperatures will warm into the mid 90s, but with added moisture in place our feels-like temperatures will be around 105, very close to Heat Advisory criteria.

How hot will it get next week?

We expect several days in the 100-102 degree range, which is near record territory for late July. Early-week low temperatures will still be in the mid-to-upper 70s, giving us some time to enjoy the day before the true heat sets in during the afternoon, but by the latter portions of next week morning lows will be in the 80s. Steamy starts, scorching afternoons.

When will the rain chance return?

A summer cool front will get close enough to us next Saturday to warrant at least a 20% chance of rain. That rain chance should climb a little higher the second half of next weekend as more moisture makes its way in here.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

Saharan dust is blowing through the Atlantic, and there are some systems we are watching in the Pacific. Visit our Tropical Update page for a more in-depth tropical weather discussion and forecast.
