Houston weather: Prepare for stormy Tuesday and humid Wednesday
Increased rain chances forecasted for Houston on Tuesday, with temperatures predicted to soar into the 90s.
Houston's weather is gearing up for a stormy Tuesday and Wednesday, as a moist plume moves into Southeast Texas. Highs will remain in the low 90s, but expect scattered storms throughout the week, with a few potentially heavy ones.
Frequent showers and thunderstorms on the horizon
The heat and humidity of June will persist all week, with daily highs ranging from 90-95 degrees. In addition, a plume of moisture is being steered into our direction, creating conditions for scattered showers and thunderstorms from today until tomorrow.
These storms can be brief and heavy, but at this time, they aren't expected to be severe. Remember to stay informed and seek shelter if thunder is heard.
Record heat across the nation, watch out for the East Coast
A heat dome over the East Coast is causing extreme temperatures for cities like Washington, DC, Philly, New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Chicago. Record highs are possible, and dangerous heat index values should be a concern. So, don't forget to stay hydrated, apply sunscreen, and take regular breaks in air-conditioned environments.
A tropical storm brewing in the Atlantic, but no worries just yet
A small area of low pressure in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean might develop into a short-lived tropical depression or storm over the next couple of days. However, rest assured that this system won't have any effects on the US.
