HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Overall, moisture levels are falling as we head into the weekend. There will still be enough moisture around for a few storms Saturday afternoon.
And just like we’ve seen the last few days, most of the rain will fall within 20 miles of the I-10 corridor when the sea breeze moves in.
Temperatures should stay below the century mark this weekend but it’s still going to be hot with feels like temps peaking around 105-107.
Any more heavy storms on the horizon?
After Saturday’s 30% chance, it’ll turn dry on Sunday as drier air briefly moves in. The good news is, moisture will return next week and we should get much needed rain each and every afternoon.
Are we done with 100 degree weather?
Unfortunately, no. While we currently don’t have any triple digits in the 10 day forecast for Houston, a new heat ridge is expected to build back into Texas by the middle of August, if not sooner.
Is there anything worth watching in the tropics?
Another large Saharan dust cloud is moving across the Atlantic Ocean, but there are also large tropical waves emerging south of it. These waves often clear out the dust so that following tropical wave have room to develop. In other words, the tropics may start to get active in August as is typical in hurricane season.
