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.

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!
