Winds increase ahead of our next rainmaker

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Temperatures Wednesday morning will start off in the low 70s as skies stay clouded over. With a touch more sunshine than what we saw on Tuesday, we which should see temperatures rise up into the mid 80s. We are also expecting some breezy winds with wind speeds coming in between 20-30 mph. Gusts near 35 mph will be possible.

Very isolated, light rain showers will be possible, but most of us will stay completely dry.

When is our next best opportunity for rain?
The next storm system in view will push a front into Houston Thursday. That front will come with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. It’s too soon to say if any of the storms will be severe, but because we are in severe weather season, it’s certainly possible. We’ll keep you posted. We could continue to see isolated to scattered rain into the end of the week and into the weekend.

How much rain could I get?
If you get any rain to begin with, you’ll most likely pick up less than half an inch, but some heavier storms could drop a quick 1-2″ of rain.

How does the weekend look?
A storm system we have been monitoring looks like it will slowly move over Texas continuing the slight chances of rain into the weekend. Right now we have a 20% chance for Saturday and 30% chance of rain for Sunday.
