Houston weather: Sunday storm chances, then another hot week

On and off showers this weekend with the potential for a few storms.

Tropical moisture brings scattered storms

The broad area of low pressure we have been tracking in the Gulf all week has moved inland. 

Tropical moisture still remains in the Gulf aiding in off and on rounds of rain with 1-2" additional rain in a few spots. Localized street flooding is possible through tonight. 

Keep an umbrella handy for your outdoor activities & avoid any flooded areas.

Highs near 100 again next week

The wet pattern gives way to drying conditions by Monday as high pressure rebuilds. 

The sun returns & rain chances taper off.  Then the stage is set for a significant heat rise. 

Highs climb into the upper 90s, with humidity bringing the heat index up to near 105.

7-Day Forecast

Tropics are quiet

Since the area of low pressure in the Gulf has moved inland, there is nothing at the moment that the National Hurricane Center is watching across the Atlantic basin. 

Activity is expected to pick up as we get into the first few weeks of August. It looks like there will be a better chance for a few tropical disturbances coming off of the West Coast of Africa and pushing across the Atlantic. 

Even though things are quiet for now, it is always a good time to stock your hurricane preparedness kit.
