HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Gulf moisture brought widely scattered downpours back to Southeast Texas on Friday, and that moisture will slowly move out this weekend to bring rain chances down.
Any shower or thunderstorm that pops up could produce briefly heavy rain that could drop a quick inch. The good news for your Saturday evening plans is that the sky should turn mostly dry even if the ground is a little wet.
It will be a rather humid start to the day with lows in the mid 70s. Sunshine will warm temperatures into the low 90s, then where it rains temperatures will cool off into the lower 80s.
What does the weather look like for the rest of the weekend?
Sunday will be almost identical to Saturday. The main difference is there will be less moisture in the afternoon, leading to just a 20% chance for a shower or thunderstorm.
With astronomical fall starting next week, will it actually feel like it?
Nope. In fact, it’s only going to get hotter as the week goes on. A strong heat ridge is going to build over Texas and the southeast United States that could break record highs. There’s even an outside chance that triple-digit heat will return to parts of Southeast Texas, so keep that fall wardrobe in the closet for next week.
What’s happening in the tropics?
Tropical Storm Fiona is churning toward the Caribbean, and Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings are out for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. We still cannot rule out a path into the Gulf of Mexico, so it’s worth keeping a casual eye on it. For the very latest check out our daily tropical update.
