Looks like Frank will soon form in the Pacific. The National Hurricane Center has a lot more to watch in that basin compared to the Atlantic Basin.

The outlook for this week gives us some optimism for helpful rain, but we'll very likely stay above normal for high and low temperatures regardless. Look for a hot and breezy start to the week with highs in the upper 90s and only isolated rain. Beginning Tuesday, rain chance look a bit higher and by Wednesday through Friday, scattered storms along with steamy temperatures are expected. The tropics remain quiet for now, but hurricane activity tends to increase dramatically through August and September.

The "normal" afternoon temperatures in Houston this time of year should top out at 95 degrees. Looks like Southeast Texas will be working towards that as we move through the week. We still need rain and the highest chances look to be towards the end of the week as well.

The Pacific continues to stay fairly active with another disturbance that could become a tropical cyclone by the middle of the week. Things in the Atlantic Basin are quiet with another plume of Saharan Dust tracking across.

The weekend ends fairly identical to how it started, cooler with isolated rain chances. But the real "cool-down" comes toward the end of the week, when we could actually (dare I say it) see some normal daytime highs. That would end a nearly month long streak of above average temperatures. And its accompanied by better rain chances, as the heat dome shifts around a bit and a trough looks to undercut it. Fingers crossed, because another heat dome looks to build behind this somewhat unsettled stretch.

It's a copy-and-paste forecast for tomorrow! High heat and humidity continue with a few isolated thunderstorms possible. The activity again looks very hit or miss in variety so not everyone will see rain. A pattern change looks to arrive late next week, bringing more promising rain chances and seasonable temperatures are set to return.

Things remain quiet in the Atlantic Basin with another plume of Saharan Dust moving through. No development is expected there through the next 5 days. Meanwhile, the Pacific continues to stay fairly active with another disturbance that could become a tropical depression by the middle of next week.

As hot and dry conditions persist, what could future Houston summers look like?

As July 2022 nears its end, more than half of the month has featured daytime highs in the triple digits. That puts us on pace for our warmest July on record.

Saturday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

After spending most of the week in the triple digits, we'll take a bit of a break this weekend where most of us will top out in the 90s. Plan for a blend of sun and clouds, with humid but mostly dry conditions aside from an isolated precipitation. Not much changes at the start of next week, but as things begin to shift rain chances look to be a bit more promising mid-end of next week. Though heat indices look to be slightly below heat advisory criteria most days, heat safety should still be top of mind. The tropics remain quiet for now.

Saturday morning weather forecast

More heat and more humidity is on tap this weekend, with highs climbing into the upper 90s and feels like temperatures approaching 105. A few isolated storms are possible both Saturday and Sunday but the activity looks very hit or miss in variety. We continue with the hot weather pattern with daily isolated storm chances into early next week.
