Friday forecast

Friday forecast This break in Houston's heat brought to you by the letter S for showers. Matt Lanza · Friday, July 25, 2025 7:06 AMIn brief:
*Periods of rain and scattered thunderstorms will be with Houston today and tomorrow as a disturbance moves in from the Gulf.
*Then, we will get another round of heat heading into next week, peaking on Wednesday or Thursday.Today -*The tropical disturbance with 10 percent development odds that we've been discussing all week is on final approach to the Texas coast.
*The NHC pegs it just south of Vermilion Bay in Louisiana.
*On radar, we've clearly got a few showers across the area. There is a more robust area of rain closer to the disturbance itself that's moving westward over the Gulf*As the day goes on, look for that area of rain to move toward Galveston and/or Freeport.
*Inland areas will see quick moving downpours at times.
*Once the disturbance comes ashore tonight, there could be periodic downpours and even some thunder.
*Some areas will see little to no rainfall.
*Other places could pick up a quick inch or so in heavier downpours.
*I do think coastal areas may see a steadier rain later today, and thus they could see up to 2 inches or so of rain before all is said and done.*High temperatures this afternoon will struggle and may not even reach 90 degrees in many spots.
*Look for upper 80s to low 90s (if the sun gets out) and a bit more humidity than we've had this week.Saturday and Sunday -*This tropical disturbance is not slowing down for anyone.
*By tomorrow afternoon, the fingerprint of the disturbance should be past I-35 and into West Texas.
*We will still see scattered thunderstorms across the area, with an increase in coverage as temperatures warm up tomorrow.*On Sunday, the chance of rain drops even a bit more, but again not to zero.
*While Saturday will probably top off in the low-90s, Sunday could be in the low to mid-90s.
