Sunday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

Saharan Dust will lead to hazy, dry conditions today with some cloudy intervals and only a very isolated shower or storm popping up. The Monday morning commute could be fairly soggy, especially south of I-10 with showers and storms spreading inland throughout the afternoon. As a ridge of high pressure builds, we'll get hotter and drier midweek with areas north and west topping out in the triple digits but the metro should stay in the upper 90s. An inverted trough looks to push westward through the Gulf late week, bringing us better rain chances and a decrease in temperatures with rounds of showers and storms each day.

Saturday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

Saturday will be the soggier of the two weekend days, with Saharan Dust moving in by Sunday. Expect more sun, warmer temps, and slightly hazy skies from the presence of that dust on Sunday. Next week starts above average, with minimal rain chances as another heat dome builds. Thankfully, it's short-lived. The heat will peak on Wednesday, and then another disturbance looks to arrive by the end of the week with promising rain chances that will bring our temperatures back closer to normal heading into the weekend.

A few isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible but the coverage looks to be very spotty both Saturday and Sunday. Daily scattered storm chances continue into next week with temperatures staying toasty.

Decent shots at rain continue today, hopefully, the third time is a charm if you haven't picked up anything within the last two days! We'll also continue to enjoy slightly cooler temperatures. Over the weekend, some light Saharan dust will move in at upper levels which will decrease rain chances and cause some hazy milky skies. Another ridge of high pressure looks to build next week that will suppress rain chances with temperatures once again on the rise. Though we may get close to triple digits and heat advisory criteria in some spots, most of us look to stay below that for an extended period.

Following two days of some nice scattered downpours, we'll have a good chance for more today. Some isolated amounts of 1-2" are likely, but away from downpours, look for typical summer mugginess. For the weekend, chances for rain are higher on Saturday, then highs could hit the upper 90s on Sunday. In general a very warm, humid pattern should return for most of next week.

The big area of high pressure known as a heat dome has finally shifted a bit and a broad area of low pressure is overhead, so this is good news. Due to the pattern change, we'll have a decent chance for scattered showers and storm each day and today should bring a few nice downpours. Aside from the hit and miss storms, we expect normal late-July heat with highs in the mid to upper 90s.
