Daily scattered storms, some heavy rainfall possible through Saturday
Pockets of heavy rainfall remain possible through Saturday, with scattered daily storms remaining in the forecast. Models are hinting at the possibility of a weak area of low pressure forming in the Gulf due to all of this agitation. Don't expect anything robust, but it could boost rain chances heading into the weekend. Sunday we'll transition to warmer and drier conditions as an area of high pressure begins to take over, which will return us to our "Regularly Scheduled August Programming" for much of next week. The tropical wave we had been watching way out in the Atlantic ceases to exist, with dry air/dust/shear winning that battle. We have now gone nearly 40 days without a named system in the tropical Atlantic.

Mostly cloudy with scattered afternoon and evening storms
Following yesterday's downpours, which was the heaviest rain at Bush IAH since January 9th, today should produce another round of rain. The highest likelihood for heavy rain is south of Houston today. More scattered heavy storms are possible Friday and Saturday with hotter, less active weather beginning Sunday. Isolated rainfall of 3-4" or more is possible with a more common 1-2" expected over the next three days. Also, there is a small chance (what I would call a non-zero chance) for a short-lived tropical system along the Texas coastline Friday/Saturday. NOT likely, but a small chance I thought I would throw out there.

Wednesday night leading into Thursday morning weather forecast
Houston will end the week with higher rain chances in the forecast and slightly cooler temperatures. Most of Southeast Texas will see 1-2 inches of rain Thursday through Saturday but isolated areas could see 2-4 inches. Back to the normal August heat and isolated afternoon showers for the start of next week.

Warm and humid; scattered storms expected this afternoon and tonight
We are entering an unsettled pattern over the next four days with a daily round of storms and even the chance for a few of them to be locally heavy. Expect warm, very humid air with storms possible both in the afternoon, but at times even overnight. Total rainfall through Saturday could exceed 3" in spots, so that is very helpful to our ongoing drought. The tropical wave we're watching in the Atlantic Ocean has not organized and looks disorganized today.
