Matt Lanza · Friday, July 24, 2026 6:09 AM 👉IN BRIEF: *Today we discuss a bit about yesterday's wider spread rain than expected in parts of the Houston area.
*A few additional storms are possible today before the heat parks itself back over Houston for much of next week. 👉BERTHA RECAP 🌀 *In terms of wind, Bertha was a nothingburger in Houston, as expected.
*In fact, I don't believe any coastal location gusted much above 35 mph yesterday.
*In terms of rain, Bertha did overachieve in a chunk of the Houston area. 
*In Missouri City, several locations right along 90A picked up over 5 inches of rain (in less than 90 minutes) which led to some rapid onset flash flooding.
*That extended back into Sugar Land as well.
*Meyerland saw about 3 inches of rain.
*Downtown Houston saw about 0.75″ of rain.
*In hindsight, while we mentioned that brief torrential rain was likely in spots yesterday afternoon, a Stage 1 flood alert probably would have worked best.
*It seemed as if the heaviest downpours would move fast enough to avoid that.
*Instead, everything congealed over Houston for a couple hours, and we got the above.
*While the tropical storm aspect of Bertha mostly did what was expected, the rain part remains a challenge.
*Bertha's remnants are passing southwest of San Antonio today, and they will continue through Mexico today and this weekend. 👉TODAY - *A few showers or a thunderstorm are likely today across the area, with some onshore flow trailing Bertha.
*Atmospheric moisture levels are still pretty high, though decreasing.
*Still, that could mean again some locally heavy downpours this afternoon.
*Otherwise, look for highs in the mid-90s with sun and clouds. 👉THE WEEKEND - *Saturday looks dry and hot with mid to upper 90s.
*Sunday should be similar, but there will be a slight tick up in available moisture for a few showers so don't be shocked to see that happen in a few spots. 👉NEXT WEEK - 🔥🔥🔥🔥 *Temperatures are going to surge once again next week back to near 100 degrees.
*Wednesday or Thursday should be the peak day, with highs around 101 to 103 in Houston.
*Rain chances will be shelved for the most part through Wednesday.
*A backdoor front, sort of like what we saw on this past Wednesday evening, could try to sneak through and provide a chance of storms either Thursday or Friday evening.
*Slightly "less hot" weather is likely after Wednesday or Thursday, but we'll watch trends through the weekend and update you on Monday.
