HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It was a mostly dry Sunday with most of us just seeing partly cloudy skies. Moisture is expected to move back in this week bringing more cloud cover and a chance for rain.
Rain should start off very isolated for the Monday morning commute, mainly near the coast. Heading into the late morning/early afternoon, we should see more scattered showers and storms move inland. Highs Monday should top out in the mid 90s for Houston. Rain should come to an end after the sun goes down.
Any more heavy storms on the horizon?
Despite a mostly dry Sunday, moisture will return this week and we should get much needed rain each and every afternoon. I’m not expecting any widespread flood concerns, but the idea is that we do have the chance for some beneficial heavy rains next week.
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.
