The Lowdown
- Our website Storm Alert this Afternoon and Evening
- Isolated Heavy Downpours, Otherwise Steamy
- Heat Wave and Saharan Dust on the Way
Houston, rise and shine! The morning air is steamy with high temp forecasts around the low 90s. But don't let the heat fool you – scattered thunderstorms are headed our way this afternoon and evening. Get ready for some rain, though it's mainly light showers. There could be a few heavy ones, too.
What Makes Today Unique
As the summer heat intensifies, it's no surprise that thunderstorms crop up now and then. Days like today, with high moisture levels, a warm afternoon, and leftover boundaries from overnight storms, create the perfect conditions for afternoon pop-up storms. That's why we've got a "our website Storm Alert" in place from mid-afternoon through this evening.[1]
Even though the National Weather Service hasn't issued any advisories just yet, you might want to keep an eye on the storm activity. With storms capable of dumping 3"+ of rain, there's a possibility of street flooding – especially during the afternoon commute or shortly after.[1]
The Long-term Forecast
Though we might see a few more storms on Thursday, the overall trend will shift to a hot and hazy pattern with coverage of rain decreasing each day. A dose of Saharan dust and warmer, drier air in the upper atmosphere is moving toward the Gulf, which will give us some hazy skies, most noticeable during sunrise and sunset.[1] You can also expect the high temps to reach the mid or possibly upper 90s.
Tropical Outlook
The Gulf and Caribbean remain relatively calm, with no major tropical concerns at this time.[1] However, an upper-level area of low pressure is currently soaking Florida. Although it only possesses a 10% chance of forming into a tropical depression, it's still something to keep an eye on – just in case.[2]
Now that you're all caught up, go forth and stay weather-wise, Houstonians!
