Rain chances increase the rest of this week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — High temps will stay on the steamy side with highs in the middle 90s the rest of the week. Lucky for us, moisture is moving in from the east and that means a return of those cooling afternoon and evening storms.

When will the cooling afternoon showers return?
Deeper moisture over Louisiana will move in Wednesday, and stick around the rest of the work week. Rain chances will hover between 30% and 40%. Most of the rain will fall during the afternoon and evening.
When will the heat end?
October. All kidding aside, high temperatures will top out near 100 through Wednesday, then a higher chance of cooling downpours will return. We still expect highs in the 90s all week, but it will be more mid 90s than upper 90s.

What’s the early outlook for next weekend?
Next weekend we’ll be watching a big batch of tropical moisture moving toward Texas that could bring even higher rain chances for the last few days of August.

Is there anything to be concerned about in the tropics?
There are no concerns for Texas over the next five days, but we will be closely monitoring that area of tropical moisture mentioned above for potential tropical development. Meanwhile, Henri made landfall on Sunday and heavy rain and flooding will continue to plague New England through Tuesday.
