Tuesday morning Houston-area weather forecast

Tuesday's weather pattern will be similar with a 20% chance for showers and storms and temperatures climbing to the 70s. By Wednesday, we are expecting a surface low to develop in the north central Gulf of Mexico, just south of New Orleans. While it is not expected to become a tropical system, it could become subtropical and bring a big round of rain to the Louisiana Gulf coast. Fortunately, models project this low to stay to our SE which means we would be on the western side or drier side with no major impacts to Houston weather. There will be a slightly higher chance of showers and storms Wednesday (30%), especially for the eastern half of the area. By late week, we heat up ahead of our next cold front. Showers and some strong storms appear to be a good bet by Saturday evening with this next front. Look for widespread 80s Thursday through Saturday with cooler weather likely early next week.
