Thurs forecast: rain chances continue Thursday forecast - rain chances continue Fingers 🤞🤞 we get some decent rainfall today! From Space City Weather - Eric Berger Thursday, June 26, 2025 7:07 AM In brief: In today's post we discuss the ongoing rain chances for today and through the weekend, as well as the arrival of a new round of Saharan dust. We also are happy to share the news that we think we have finally tackled the notification issue on the Apple version of our app. Thursday -- *The atmospheric setup supports another day of variable shower activity today, with some areas likely to pick up 1 inch of rainfall and other locations seeing only dark clouds and distant lightning.
*Overall rain chances are about 50 percent, with the most likely time for showers from late this morning through the early evening hours.
*The proximity of rain will help keep high temperatures in the vicinity of 90 degrees for most locations.
*And yes, while this is fairly warm, I'd remind you that it is but a taste of what is coming in terms of summer time heat for Houston. (i.e. see the forecast for next week).
*Rain chances will slacken for the overnight hours, with low temperatures falling into the mid to upper 70s. ......................................... Apple users : Yes, we think app notifications are finally fixed As many users of our Space City Weather app installed on Apple devices know all too well, notifications on that platform have been broken. After installing, they'll work for a couple of weeks and then stop. This has been annoying for you and a giant pain in the butt for us. We tried several things to fix it, only to have the problem return. Now, we think-all fingers and toes crossed!-that we have solved it. Hussain Abbasi, our developer, initially wrote the app in a Microsoft coding tool that lost support this year. Meanwhile, Apple changed the way app notifications are handled, but Microsoft didn't update its older tool to account for that. Once Hussain realized this, he began the painful process of recreating the app in the new version of Microsoft's coding tool that does use Apple's latest notification system. What at first appeared to be a minor bug fix turned out to be, as they say, a heavy lift.
We released the app a few weeks ago, quietly, to see if it indeed fixed the problem. And it appears to have done that. There are still a few bugs in the new version, which is to be expected since it's essentially a rewrite of the app. We hope to have some bug-fix updates coming in the next few days and weeks. In the interim, you may notice that weather data loads a little slowly at first. And some iPhone and Mac users are reporting the app crashes upon launch, but that appears to be rare and the cause has been identified. If you have updates set to auto-install on your device, you already have the new version. If you haven't updated and want notifications back, feel free to download it. (it might help to uninstall the old version before installing the new one.) Note that this only applies to users of Apple devices. The Android version is, for now, unchanged, but our upcoming releases will address some issues there, too, including the occasional crash on, weirdly, Pixel 9 phones only. Go figure. Thanks for using our app! We're working to make it better for you. spacecityweather.com /rain-chances-contin ue-and-we-may-have-f inally-fixed-th

Yes, some clouds and thunder rolling in here in the IAH area. Hope it heads toward Kingwood, too.
