Drier and hotter to finish the week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After a busy day with showers and storms Wednesday, we won’t see as much activity Thursday.

On Thursday a batch of drier air will move in late in the afternoon, pushing away the tropical moisture left behind by Hanna. That means the rain chance Friday will be all the way down to just 20%, and it will feel hot and steamy.

A weather system blowing in from the north this weekend will bring a rare July front into Texas, and that front could bring more scattered thunderstorms to southeast Texas on Saturday. We don’t expect any cooler air to reach us, but we could have some rain-cooled neighborhoods in the afternoons. We do expect the humidity to drop just to our north around College Station and Huntsville. Aren’t they lucky.

This weather system should also shield us from any tropical influences, so even if the developing storm in the Atlantic makes it into the eastern Gulf, it would likely stay away from Texas. We can expect a more typical July pattern next with with hot days in the mid 90s and mostly dry afternoons.
