Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
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.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Monitoring Tropical Storm Bud in Pacific
The good news is that tropical systems are not expected to develop in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean through the rest of July. Saharan dust has brought in drier air but is forecast to become less widespread in August. That means hurricane season could get really active as water temperatures remain very warm. In the Eastern Pacific, area of low pressure SW of Mexico now has a medium 50% chance tropical development. Check FOX Local for the latest on the tropics and weather where you live!

Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
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.
