Weather

Yesterday's midday clearing allowed us to tap into some good daytime heating leading to convection and some solid downpours. Today and tomorrow look to be both cloudier and cooler, with isolated rain chances. Pending the development or lack there of this coastal low we have been monitoring, rain chances look better for Thursday and Friday. Stick with us for updates and changes, but overall as we head closer to July 4th less fireworks from the sky and more sunshine.

It's nice to see a 7 Day forecast without triple digits for the afternoon highs! Be ready for on and off showers and heavy downpours during this week. Houston will still be in the 90s but most days will be lower 90s. We are still watching the Gulf for tropical development, but chances remain low and impacts are not expected to change much with or without a tropical depression. For now it looks like next week will be back to hot and dry for Southeast Texas.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Two has formed in the Atlantic and there is still plenty of reason to keep monitoring the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Finally a break from the heat and some much needed rain! Plan for on-and-off showers and storms daily through the end of the week, with lows mostly in the 70s and highs mostly in the 90s. The potential development of a coastal low could either boost or decrease our rain chances. Stick with us for updates, but it does look like the holiday weekend is trending both drier and warmer leading into July 4th festivities.

Knowing what food to buy for a hurricane can be overwhelming. FOX 26 Meteorologist John Dawson shares a 72-hour emergency food supply from ReadyWise and American Red Cross that won't taste like cardboard and can help save you some money.

If you love the heat, I hope you enjoyed the weekend because the week ahead is a break in this very warm and dry pattern. The lower 90s and rain chances every day dominate the forecast. It won't be a washout every day, but there will be chances for all of us to see rain. We still are watching for a possible low to form in the Gulf later in the week, but not something to worry about. If it happens, it will just increase the rain chances for the end of the week.

We are expecting a tropical depression in the Atlantic sometime this week. The Gulf of Mexico also needs to be monitored this week for development.

One last sultry day before we trade our steamy pattern for a soggy one. While it won't be raining all the time every day, everyone has a chance to get in on some action at some point this week and the stalled boundary will also provide a cooldown. An area of low pressure may form in the Gulf from this leftover boundary, but it currently has low chances of developing in the next 2-5 days and if it does form would likely just boost our rain chances if anything. Stay tuned into the forecast this week for updates and changes!

Heat relief is coming but we have to get through one more scorching hot day on Sunday. Highs tomorrow afternoon will again climb to near 100 with mostly sunny skies. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible late in the day but higher rain chances arrive next week. A weak front will drop into the area on Monday and stall nearby bringing daily rain and storm chances. With a stalled front lingering over the Gulf, there is always a slight chance for a small tropical low to form, so we'll watch that for the middle part of next week.

We are watching 2 areas in the Atlantic Basin for development. One close to home in the Gulf of Mexico has very low odds but another in the Central Atlantic could become a tropical depression or storm by next week.

Bright sunshine and dangerously hot temperatures are expected this weekend. Make sure you are taking heat safety precautions seriously and limiting outdoor time. A cold front will push into the region on Monday kicking off an unsettled week. Beneficial rain is on the way with temperatures trending a touch cooler as well.

TROPICS: A tropical wave over the Eastern Atlantic bears watching. The NHC is giving it a 60% chance to develop in the next 5 days. Meanwhile, in the Pacific Tropical Storm Celia continues to move further and further away from land and towards cooler waters but still could strengthen into a hurricane in the next 24 hours.

Strong sunshine, light breezes and near-record high temperatures will remain in place through Sunday, so expect a very hot weekend. Monday looks hot as well, but there is a good chance for storms by the afternoon. Clouds and showers are much more likely along a stalled front for much of next week, so finally we could feel about a 7-10? drop in high temperatures along with much needed rain.
