Houston weather: Severe storms likely for Sunday

The Storm Prediction Center has the FOX26 viewing area under a Level 1 and/or 2 (out of 5) risk for a severe thunderstorm.

Gradual warming trend with more storms this weekend

HOUSTON - Look for only a 20% chance of a few Saturday evening showers and storms. 

Also, keep in mind that ozone levels will be elevated Sunday. So an air quality alert continues through Sunday evening.

If you have respiratory issues, you may want to limit your amount of time outdoors.

Another disturbance will bring in a better chance for spotty to scattered showers and storms Sunday afternoon and evening.  

Watch out because a few of these storms could be on the strong side with hail, gusty winds and frequent lightning. 

The Storm Prediction Center has the FOX26 viewing area under a Level 1 and/or 2 (out of 5) risk for a severe thunderstorm with the highest risk north.

Getting hotter next week with limited rain

Weather for the first week of June looks like typical close to summer weather with temperatures in the low to middle 90s and a few chances for showers and storms. 

Heat index values will likely be near 100. So be careful in the heat by staying hydrated and taking breaks in the shade if you have to work outside.
