HOUSTON - It's a warm Tuesday morning across Southeast Texas with temperatures in the 70s. There will be isolated showers this afternoon with highs reaching the mid 90s.

Isolated storms today

Houston will see isolated showers and thunderstorms through early evening with otherwise, very warm and humid air. Rainfall should be spotty but could exceed 1". By Wednesday and Thursday, expect mostly sunny skies and higher temperatures in the mid to upper 90s.

Texas Hill Country concerns

The Texas Hill Country will also experience a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms through tonight, with a few areas possibly experiencing brief flooding.

However, the forecast shifts to mostly sunny, dry, and hot conditions through the rest of the week, with high temperatures generally in the mid-90s.

Tropical outlook: Watching the Gulf

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a trough of low pressure located east of Florida. It is forecast to move westward across Florida today and into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico by late Tuesday.

Most models show slow development of the system and a relatively weak low south of New Orleans by Wednesday and Thursday. For now, just expect the possibility for showers in the Houston area on Friday if the low gets close enough and stay tuned for updates.
