Scorching summer temperatures in Houston, with occasional rainfall continuing until the week's end
The weather team at our website is keeping a close eye on the Atlantic tropics, and here's the latest update.
Tropical Storm Dexter is moving deeper into the central Atlantic Ocean and is expected to become extratropical over the next day or two. Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the same region has a 60% chance of becoming a depression or storm over the next week. However, this system is very far away from Texas, posing no immediate threat to the Lone Star State.
A reminder that it's not impossible for a storm to approach the Caribbean and/or the Gulf by mid to late August. Some computer forecast models show a stronger tropical wave moving into the eastern Atlantic by late this week, which could potentially strengthen. Models also show this low getting organized, then moving away from the US.
On a brighter note, the Houston weather forecast for the weekend of August 15-17, 2025, does not include detailed weather conditions, but several outdoor events are planned. Jeep Weekend, a wildlife conservation event, and film festivals in Houston are set to take place, suggesting favorable weather for activities.
For precise weather conditions for Houston this weekend or tropical updates, consulting local weather services or the National Hurricane Center near the event date would be recommended as these sources provide real-time forecasts.
In summary, Houston's weekend has many scheduled outdoor and indoor events, implying typical summer weather but no explicit forecast details were found. No forecasted tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic tropics is noted for the near future based on available information.
In Texas, the upcoming weekend weather appears favorable for the outdoor events scheduled in Houston, including Jeep Weekend, a wildlife conservation event, and film festivals. However, while it's necessary to keep an eye on the Atlantic tropics for potential storm activity, no immediate threat to Texas is expected at this time. Meanwhile, advancements in weather-forecasting technology continuously help meteorologists monitor hurricane and tropical storm activity.
