FOX 26 Chief Meteorologist Mike Iscovitz takes an in-depth look at Colorado State University's hurricane season outlook.

Lots to talk about in the 7 day forecast. Today looks great with lots of sun and warm highs, but with a chance for unhealthy afternoon air quality. Clouds gradually return tomorrow, and scattered rain could move in by late Sunday. So far, no improvement in the eclipse forecast for Houston with clouds, showers and storms possible. In fact on Monday and Tuesday, there's a chance for strong to severe storms. Much of next week looks rainy. Have a great weekend and maybe we'll get really lucky and the clouds will break up briefly for the eclipse.
