Rain chances rise for match day
Storm chances look more likely by World Cup Sunday as deeper moisture moves into Southeast Texas.
It does not look like an all-day washout, but scattered showers and storms could impact outdoor plans with brief heavy rain and lightning.
The best chance for downpours and storms will be during the afternoon and early evening.
A wetter pattern sets up
A weak tropical low and front dropping in from the north will send moisture our way early next week, fueling more widespread downpours.
Some storms could produce heavy rain in a short amount of time, raising the risk for quick street flooding where showers linger or repeatedly move over the same areas.

Watching the tropics
A broad area of low pressure has formed in the Bay of Campeche. The National Hurricane Center has expanded the area in the Gulf on where we could see tropical development, although the overall chances of development are low.
The area of disorganized showers and storms will likely move over inland Mexico this weekend, but the tropical moisture could re-enter the Gulf next week.
Regardless of any development, the Gulf Coast can expect high rain chances late this weekend and early next week.
