We are still a few weeks out from the peak of hurricane season. It's been quiet so far, but if you're still looking to get prepared, you can buy a hurricane kit that's pre-built. Meteorologist John Dawson shows us a backpack designed for those who plan to evacuate.

I really hope kids don't have 1st period PE, because it is extremely muggy this morning and we have a hot, humid day ahead. Scattered late day and evening storms are expected, especially north and west of Houston. Rain looks more likely from tonight through Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (at least). Any individual storm could be heavy and produce several inches of rain. Dallas was hit by 7" of rain just this morning causing serious flooding, so we need to be on guard as well, especially beginning tomorrow.

The week starts soggy with some isolated heavy downpours causing a few problems. With the increased rain chances come cooler temperatures, plus the drought relief continues and a major dent is expected in this week's update. Be ready for slower traveling around town this week will all the rain, drive safe in the rain!

FOUR is done. We look out to the Atlantic for our next tropical wave.

We are in for a soggy week, start to finish and things could get dicey from time to time with locally heavy rainfall. Pack your patience on the roadways, and allow for extra time throughout the week. On the plus side, the drought relief continues and a major dent is expected come Thursday's update. Daytime highs will also be well below average for the entire week, but overnights will be warm and humid.

Grab the umbrellas! A slow-moving boundary is set to bring several opportunities for rain and thunderstorms as we head into next week. Some of the rain could be heavy at times and localized flooding will be possible. Not only will the rain help with ongoing drought conditions across the area, but it'll also help keep our temperatures down. Highs will largely be in the upper 80s and low 90s through the next several days.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Four remains very disorganized and chances of it becoming a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm are dwindling. The system will move onshore tonight, bringing heavy rain to Northeast Mexico & Deep South Texas.

The 7-day features a fairly soggy pattern, with scattered showers and storms that may be heavy at times. Daily rains should lead to a sizable dent in the drought monitor by next Thursday, and keep our daytime highs considerably below average. While there is plenty of moisture around, most of it is not tropical in nature. Potential Tropical Cyclone 4 will pass well to our south this weekend, with a new wave emerging off the coast of Africa that may gradually develop as it tracks west-northwest. No threats are anticipated for Southeast Texas from either system at this time.

Unsettled weather is set to continue thru the weekend. While it won't be a complete washout, scattered showers and storms will be possible both Saturday and Sunday. This active pattern looks to stay in place thru next week, with rounds of rain and storms each day. With added clouds and rain, temperatures will be kept down, as high temps will just climb into the upper 80s.

We now have Potential Tropical Cyclone 4 in the Southern Gulf of Mexico. The system is expected to move into Northeastern Mexico by Saturday night. While no direct impacts are expected in Houston, this could influence rain chances across the state heading into next week.

Lots to talk about with today's forecast and with an active pattern in the extended rainfall outlook. For today, another round of heavy rain appears likely. Due to yesterday's widespread 2-4" of rain, the ground is saturated, so flooding could occur more easily as heavy storms pop up. Look for isolated heavy downpours in the morning with more widespread activity from late morning through early afternoon. localized amounts of 3" will be possible again with some high winds and, once again, lots of lightning. For the weekend, expect off-and-on showers and storms as we watch the progress of what should be a small area of low pressure in the southern Gulf. The extended outlook still looks active with several rounds of drought-busting rain across Texas.

This is one of those rare times where I think very few people will be upset by a 7 Day forecast with this much rain. Southeast Texas has been so dry this summer we really need the rain! Houston will see at least a 50% chance of rain every day for the next week.
