FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Scattered downpours along with a few rumbles of thunder are possible this evening. Severe weather is not expected but storms could produce locally heavy rain in a short period of time along with 40 mph wind gusts. Hotter weather is expected Thursday through Saturday with lower rain chances. This weekend, our attention turns to the tropics with a 30% chance that a tropical system could develop in the Bay of Campeche in the southern Gulf of Mexico. If it develops, this system should stay to our south but will spread a plume of tropical moisture our way early next week. This will mean the risk of tropical downpours that could increase our flood threat. Keep checking our FOX 26 weather app and smart TV app FOX Local for updates!
