A drier Saturday

It's sunny and hot today, with lower humidity and highs in the 90s. Areas north of I‑10 will likely cool into the low-70s tonight, which will feel refreshing.

Weekend heat returns

Humidity should increase noticeably on Sunday, along with a chance for isolated showers well south of the Houston area.

Tropical Depression Six

Tropical Depression Six has formed in the eastern Atlantic. 

This is going to be a short-lived system. It is forecasted to become our sixth named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Fay. 

This will be what we call a 'storm for the fish' because it will stay out to sea and not impact any major landmass. 

Other than this system, nothing else is brewing across the Atlantic.
