FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Scattered heavy downpours brought electricity repairs to a halt briefly yesterday as some locations received more than 2 inches of rain accompanied by vivid, frequent lightning. We could see a repeat performance today and Saturday with some scattered thunderstorms expected, and a few of them could be heavy. A heat advisory is in effect again today, but most locations will have high temperatures of 90° or even slightly lower. Beyond Saturday, our forecast does look a bit warmer with high temperatures back in the low to middle 90s for Sunday through early next week. In the tropics, despite some rumors online to the contrary, we don’t see any systems forming over the next several days and everything looks relatively quiet for a while.
FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Flooding is once again a concern across the Houston area with rain and storms breaking out today. Rain led to some flooding across Houston and The Woodlands. Rain will wind down by sunset with more scattered storms the next few afternoons. That will mean some relief from the heat. But storms could delay crews trying to restore power to nearly one million Houstonians. Rain chances get a bit lower next week but the heat will increase again. One disturbance off the Florida east coast has a 10% chance of tropical development the next few days. But no tropical activity is expected in the Gulf of Mexico through the weekend.
