Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Weather for the first day of August is looking just about the same as the end of July - hot, humid, and hazy with very little chance for rain. Saharan dust brought our air quality into the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" category on Wednesday and that is expected again today and possibly Friday. Our rain chances will increase slightly for the weekend with a chance for showers or isolated storms offering little in the way of relief from the heat. A tropical disturbance in the northern Caribbean will continue its path toward the west and all of our models are now showing a threat to the Florida Panhandle, but they vary considerably as to the intensity of the storm. For now, it's not a likely threat for Texas, but we will monitor is closely. The GFS model is very aggressive with a hurricane, but others show a much weaker system.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: Saharan Dust remains in Houston
Saharan dust plume that has traveled all the way from Africa is impacting the Houston area giving us hazy skies and not so stellar air quality. Air quality remains in the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" category. So if you are sensitive to air pollutants or have respiratory issues, try to limit time outside. Dust plume should clear some by this weekend leading to better air quality and less hazy skies. Heat remains intense the rest of this week with rain chances increasing a bit this weekend.

Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
A plume of dust all the way from the Sahara Desert arrived in Texas late yesterday and should become more noticeable today and tomorrow. Air quality could be affected today as dust or "particulate matter" levels rise. Expect a condition orange - "unhealthy for sensitive groups" status today, so limit outdoor exposure if you have a heart or lung condition. Otherwise, local weather will be hot and humid to wrap up July and start August as highs reach the mid to upper 90s and heat index values above 105. A tropical wave is approaching the northeast Caribbean and has a decent chance to become a tropical depression by the end of the week near Florida. Due to the disorganized nature of the system, the forecast isn't very solid just yet, so we'll monitor the outlook for any changes. The Euro computer model favors a weak system east of Florida while the GFS model shows a small low possible near the Florida Gulf Coast.

Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Hazy, hot & humid weather will remain in place this week as high pressure takes hold and a plume of Saharan dust moves in. We should notice a browning tinge to the sky by this afternoon and it will be more noticeable Wednesday. Mornings will be warm and humid with afternoons running at or slightly above average for the rest of the week. In the tropics, there is a broad area of low pressure in the Atlantic Ocean that is moving in the general direction of Puerto Rico and will get closer to Florida late this week as a slowly developing system. From there, it's just too early to tell. Models are not lining up well on strengthening or location, so anywhere from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas will keep an eye on this tropical wave this week.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: Heat building back in
This week will look much different than last week. Rain chances are low and temperatures will be warmer. Afternoon highs will start in the mid 90s but climb to the upper 90s for the end of the week. If you see any rain, it will come from an isolated pop up afternoon storm. Look for haze in the sky starting on Tuesday as a round of Saharan dusts moves into southeast Texas. This will probably be the thickest plume Houston has seen so far this summer.

Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Rain chances are down and humidity is way, way up! It's going to be a sweltering week with highs in the mid 90s, but heat index values of at least 105 and probably higher at times. As far as rain, there is a chance for a couple of storms this afternoon with lower chances by mid-week. We should notice a haze in the sky tomorrow and Wednesday with a plume of Saharan dust moving in, and it's probably the thickest of the summer so far. Otherwise, with low pressure moving out and high pressure taking hold this week, expect a super steamy week. In the tropics, there is a poorly defined tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic that has a chance of becoming a tropical depression later this week. It is very far from Texas and, so far, doesn't look like a big deal. It's a reminder that tropical activity is going to pick up big time over the next few weeks.

Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Watch out for another risk for flooding today especially from Houston to Sugar Land, Pearland, Clear Lake, Galveston and Baytown (and surrounding cities). Today's pattern is roughly the same as it's been all week with a dip in the jet stream helping to pull deep tropical moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico and a stationary front stuck over our area. A flood watch is in effect for most of Southeast Texas until 4pm today. If you're craving sunshine and less rain, next week is partly sunny, hot and very humid.
