Slight rain chances today/tonight

Slight rain chances Slight Chance Of Thunderstorms Today And Tonight As Hot Weather Continues. Eric Berger · Wednesday, June 26, 2024 7:12 AMIn brief:
*Although high pressure is largely dominant, Houston will have a couple of chances to see some spotty thunderstorms today and tonight.
*Mostly, however, we're going to see continued hot and sunny weather, with temperatures in the mid- to upper-90s and plenty of humidity. That forecast holds for as far as the eye can see.WEDNESDAY: (TODAY)*Skies will be mostly sunny today, with highs in the mid- to upper-90s.
*Generally, the further inland you live, the warmer the temperatures will be.
*Winds will remain light, from the south at just 5 mph.
*The real intrigue today and tonight are our rain chances - They're not high, but we could see some briefly lived thunderstorms.*The first opportunity comes during the mid-afternoon hours, as daytime heating combines with the seabreeze to potentially spark some showers and thunderstorms in central Houston, or perhaps closer to the coast. These should be fairly isolated and short-lived.
*There is also a chance of some storms along a dying front moving south into the region this evening or tonight. Frankly, our model guidance is all over the place, so we could see anything from nothing (probably most likely) to a fairly broad line of storms moving southward late tonight or early Thursday (far less likely). In any case, something to be aware of.THURSDAY*Expect continued hot and muggy weather.
*We could see some additional, isolated showers and thunderstorms due to daytime heating.
*Overall rain chances are probably only about 10 or 20 percent, however.FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY:*Expect more hot weather, with highs in the mid- to upper-90s for the area and plenty of humidity.
*We'll continue to see low, but not non-existent rain chances through the weekend as daytime heating sparks seabreeze showers.
*These showers will probably be a bit more likely for areas along and south of Interstate 10, but for the most part, it's just going to be sunshine and heat. SAHARAN DUST:We may also see some haze, as a plume of Saharan dust pushes into the area over the weekend.NEXT WEEK:*To be honest, next week doesn't look much different from this week, weather-wise. We'll continue to be very hot, but not extremely so for Houston in the summertime.
