Weekend forecast

#msg5963463Weekend forecast Increasing rain chances start today with heavy rainfall Monday and Tuesday. Coverage of Houston's daily summer thunderstorms will slowly pick up this weekend. Matt Lanza · Friday, July 10, 2026 6:25 AM 👉In brief: *Hit or miss showers will continue across Houston into the weekend, with coverage slowly increasing each day. *A more concentrated heavy rain/storm chance is in the cards Monday and Tuesday with some flash flooding possible. *Temperatures heat up later next week and weekend. *Some parts of Houston are in the "rain o'clock" phase of summer, where you hit the right time of day, and the storms start to fire. *Rain totals this week have been quite variable, with some places seeing nothing and others, like the East End through Galena Park and Cloverleaf seeing 2 to 4 inches of rain. *As we head toward next week, more places will participate in rainfall once again. 👉TODAY and SATURDAY - *Both today and tomorrow look fairly similar with isolated to perhaps scattered afternoon thunderstorms developing across the area. *Once again, many locations will come up empty, but some could easily pick up a quick inch or two. *Tomorrow may have slightly higher coverage of storms than today. *Either way, outside of that it will be seasonably hot and humid with highs in the low-90s. 👉SUNDAY - *More of the same is expected here, however coverage of storms on Sunday could be a tinge higher than Saturday. *Highs will be near 90 degrees or in the low-90s. 👉NEXT WEEK - *Here's where the pattern begins to get more active. *As high pressure builds over the Northern Plains and Midwest, southeast Texas will be on the southern periphery of the high, meaning the door to Gulf moisture will be wide open. *The clockwise flow around high pressure basically allows anything underneath to move east to west. *This strong upper level storm system over the Deep South will act as an enhancement for thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. *While the strongest "forcing" with this disturbance will go north of Houston, the combination of this, a stalled weak front, and a bunch of Gulf moisture will likely produce pockets of heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding early next week. *The eastern part of the area is in a slight risk (level 2/4) for flooding risk on Monday, and it's likely this will be expanded or pushed into Tuesday for us. *I would expect some level of our flood scale to go up for Monday and Tuesday, probably Stage 1, maybe Stage 2. (Eric will have an update for you on Monday morning, possibly Sunday if our confidence is high) *Things should quiet down some after Tuesday, with perhaps even a couple days off from rain chances. *This does mean temperatures should begin to heat up with mid-90s by later next week, and possibly a bit hotter by the weekend. Stay tuned.
