Wednesday starts with a decent amount of sunshine with clouds and rain chances increasing throughout the day. Our best chances for widespread rain remain Thursday and Friday, pending how this area of low pressure tracks. Saturday looks to be the "soggiest" of the long holiday weekend though thundershowers will be hit or miss. But keep that in mind for outdoor plans! By Monday, mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures.

Wednesday morning weather forecast

Houston will continue to watch a low in the Gulf. The National Hurricane Center gives it a 40% chance to develop into a tropical depression or storm. Its organization, track, and intensity will determine the amount of rain expected for southeast Texas on Thursday and Friday. For now, it looks like the dry ground can handle all the rain without widespread problems. Things should dry over the weekend and July 4th looks muggy and hot.
