Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Hazy, hot & humid weather will remain in place this week as high pressure takes hold and a plume of Saharan dust moves in. We should notice a browning tinge to the sky by this afternoon and it will be more noticeable Wednesday. Mornings will be warm and humid with afternoons running at or slightly above average for the rest of the week. In the tropics, there is a broad area of low pressure in the Atlantic Ocean that is moving in the general direction of Puerto Rico and will get closer to Florida late this week as a slowly developing system. From there, it's just too early to tell. Models are not lining up well on strengthening or location, so anywhere from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas will keep an eye on this tropical wave this week.
FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: Heat building back in
This week will look much different than last week. Rain chances are low and temperatures will be warmer. Afternoon highs will start in the mid 90s but climb to the upper 90s for the end of the week. If you see any rain, it will come from an isolated pop up afternoon storm. Look for haze in the sky starting on Tuesday as a round of Saharan dusts moves into southeast Texas. This will probably be the thickest plume Houston has seen so far this summer.
Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Rain chances are down and humidity is way, way up! It's going to be a sweltering week with highs in the mid 90s, but heat index values of at least 105 and probably higher at times. As far as rain, there is a chance for a couple of storms this afternoon with lower chances by mid-week. We should notice a haze in the sky tomorrow and Wednesday with a plume of Saharan dust moving in, and it's probably the thickest of the summer so far. Otherwise, with low pressure moving out and high pressure taking hold this week, expect a super steamy week. In the tropics, there is a poorly defined tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic that has a chance of becoming a tropical depression later this week. It is very far from Texas and, so far, doesn't look like a big deal. It's a reminder that tropical activity is going to pick up big time over the next few weeks.

Watch out for another risk for flooding today especially from Houston to Sugar Land, Pearland, Clear Lake, Galveston and Baytown (and surrounding cities). Today's pattern is roughly the same as it's been all week with a dip in the jet stream helping to pull deep tropical moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico and a stationary front stuck over our area. A flood watch is in effect for most of Southeast Texas until 4pm today. If you're craving sunshine and less rain, next week is partly sunny, hot and very humid.

Enjoy a few breaks in the rain when you can, because several rounds of rain are coming our way today and each day through the weekend. Abundant, deep tropical moisture is streaming in from the Gulf and an active jet stream pattern will provide rounds of rain for at least the next 5 days. Overall rainfall accumulations could top 4-8" and this is on top of up to 5" that fell on Monday and 6" on Tuesday in some spots. The best thing you can do to keep yourself safe is to drive very carefully and avoid driving into water covered roadways. Clear skies and hotter weather should return early next week.
