Rainy conditions expected in Houston on Thursday, with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms.
Headline: Houston Braces for Typical Summer Weather Amidst Tropical Activity
Houston, Texas, is preparing for another week of typical summer weather, with daily scattered thunderstorms expected during the afternoon and evening hours. According to the extended weather forecast, these storms will bring gusty winds, brief heavy rainfall, and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. However, no severe widespread storms are predicted for the city.
While Houston residents go about their daily routines, Tropical Storm Erin is making its way across the eastern Atlantic. Forecasts show the storm intensifying into a powerful hurricane this week, but it is not expected to threaten Texas, including Houston. Its likely track curves north and northeast, possibly impacting Bermuda and the eastern United States next week instead.
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts for updates on any storm hazards or weather changes throughout the week. Another tropical wave is expected to move into the eastern Atlantic by late this week, with the potential of becoming a hurricane late next week. However, at this point, it is too early to determine if it will affect Texas.
A low could develop east of Florida and south of the Carolinas, potentially bringing rain to those areas late in the week. Models suggest this low could move away from the US, providing some relief for the region.
Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the Atlantic has a 60% chance of becoming a depression or storm, but it is very far away from Texas. Tropical Storm Dexter, which was previously a concern, is moving deeper into the central Atlantic Ocean and will become extratropical over the next day or two.
In terms of temperature, the long-term forecast predicts highs in the upper 90s for most of next week with more spotty afternoon downpours. Residents near the beaches can expect highs in the mid 90s, with some upper 90s inland.
Each day will bring a few morning showers near the coast and scattered inland storms each afternoon. The weather in the next several days is expected to be mostly subject to the randomness of where storms set up each day.
