FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
It's still June but the deep summer heat is all across Southeast Texas. This weekend looks like a typical "August" weekend in Houston. Isolated storms are possible for Saturday but don't look for many to provide temporary cool-downs. Saharan dust moves in from the Gulf bringing hazy skies as temps continue to hover just below the triple digits. Most of the FOX26 area is under a Heat Advisory Saturday.

Tropical Update: Expecting named tropical storm
Invest 95L has a new number and that is "two", as in Tropical Depression Two. We are still expecting this system to be named Beryl, but for now the National Hurricane Center is classifying it as a tropical depression. There are also a couple other areas of disturbed weather to discuss in the Atlantic basin.

Happy Friday, everyone. Yes, it's going to be another hot, humid day with a heat advisory in effect and afternoon temperatures reaching the mid to upper 90s. Expect some pop-up storms to temporarily cool things down - a similar outlook for Saturday. Beginning Sunday, a plume of Saharan dust could move into Texas bringing some hazy skies as temperatures rise in the mid and upper 90s. In the tropics, a strong tropical wave in the central Atlantic could become a tropical storm over the next few days. It is very far from here, so we have a long time to watch.
FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
We are one week away from the 4th of July holiday and it looks like a typical hot and humid summer pattern for SE Texas. Look for high temperatures in the middle to upper 90s over the next week with rain chances around 10-30%. Two systems in the tropics are being monitored for development but should not bring us any major impacts through the 4th of July. Invest 94-L will move into the SW Gulf this weekend with only a low chance for development. Invest 95-L in the east-central Atlantic now has a high 80% chance of becoming a Tropical depression or Tropical Storm Beryl as it moves towards the Lesser Antilles. We still have several days to watch this one though. Keep track of the weather where you live and the tropics on FOX Local and through our FOX 26 weather app!

Tropical Update: Possible tropical storm developing
We are getting closer and closer to another named storm in the Atlantic! Invest 95-L in the east-central Atlantic now has a HIGH 80% chance of being our next tropical depression or storm. It is projected to get stronger as it moves west closer to the Lesser Antilles this weekend. Invest 94-L has reached the western Caribbean and still has a LOW shot to become a tropical system over the next week as it pushes into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Impacts from 94-L are expected to be minimal for Southeast Texas as it should stay to our south and move into Mexico. Another tropical wave is moving off the coast of Africa but we'll have several days to watch that one.

Tropical Update: Two systems across Atlantic Basin
We are closely monitoring two systems across the Atlantic Basin that could be our next two tropical systems. The first, Invest 94-L, is in the central Caribbean with only a low chance of development. There's a 10% chance over the next few days and a 20% chance for development as it moves into the SW Gulf of Mexico this weekend. If a tropical depression or storm forms, it would likely stay south of Houston. The other system we are monitoring is in the eastern Atlantic with only a 10% chance for development over the next few days. But conditions appear more favorable for development over the next several days as it moves west & gets closer to the Caribbean Sea. Formation potential over the next week has increased to a MEDIUM 40% chance. This system is still a long way away so keep checking back for updates!

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Heat Advisory has been extended until 8 pm Wednesday for much of Southeast Texas. It does not include the coastal areas. Heat index values near 110 are likely Wednesday afternoon. Even late at night, overnight temperatures will only fall to near 80. So there won't be much relief then either. We'll remain stuck in this pattern through the rest of the week with hot and steamy weather with isolated rain. A tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean has a low chance for development as it heads towards the southern Gulf by this weekend. It could enhance our rain chances early next week. But right now, impacts look minimal. However, that could change so keep checking back for weather where you live on our FOX 26 weather app and on FOX Local!
