A few T-storms but turning hot this weekend

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The few storms that popped up late Friday will die during the early evening hours. We should be mostly dry until the sea breeze kicks up a few storms Saturday afternoon.

What’s the weekend look like?

Moisture levels will fall some this weekend but a few thunderstorms will still be possible. Your chance of being hit by one of those is 30%.

Is the heat ridge coming back?

Yes… By the weekend, temperatures will already push back into the middle and upper 90s as the moisture moves out and the heat ridge settles back in over Texas. Temperatures will push into the upper 90s and may even touch 100 across most of Southeast Texas most days next week. There will still be enough moisture around for a stray shower each day, but the rain chances will be 20% or less for most.

What are you monitoring in the tropics right now?

Our main focus is on the tropical moisture over the Gulf blowing this way. Thankfully, high wind shear should prevent any tropical development. For a full overview of what’s happening in the tropics, head to our Tropical Update page.
