Other than a few isolated showers and storms, our overall pattern is looking warmer and sunnier with afternoon highs back into the low 90s. Some spots could hit the mid 90s this weekend. Daily rain chances are around 10-20% through early next week. Hurricane Earl and Tropical Storm Danielle are in the Atlantic and are not threats to the United States. The next tropical system is gaining strength in the eastern Atlantic and could become Fiona soon, but will also not be a threat to the US or Texas.

The first official week of summer is setting up to be hot! Feels-like temps are going to be above 105 for much of the week. Look for a Heat Advisory from the National Weather Service if the heat index values start hitting 108. The chances for rain look fairly low but isolated showers/storms across southeast Texas are certainly possible any day. Stay safe around Houston working or playing in the heat.

A broken line of storms will approach from the north this afternoon/evening. While many of us will stay sunny & dry, with only dark clouds passing by off in the distance a few stronger storms cannot be ruled out. Impacts look to be limited to brief downpours & gusty winds. Timing-wise, storms may begin firing up to the north as early as 1 or 2 p.m. Stay weather aware for the bus stop hour/after-school activities, through the PM commute/sunset!

Mostly sunny & pleasant start Wednesday, with a few PM storms

A weak front will bring a broken line of scattered storms through this afternoon and evening, and a couple may be accompanied by brief downpours and gusty winds. Some precip may linger into tomorrow, but for the most part high pressure will take over bringing in more sunshine and only isolated rain chances. Temperatures look to hover right around average for this time of year, with a touch lower humidity. Overall a very pleasant week awaits!
