FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: The heat is back!
HEAT ADVISORY has been issued for most of SE Texas from Noon until 8pm Tuesday. It does not include coastal areas but includes the Houston metro area. Heat index values higher than 108 are likely. So drink lots of water, take frequent breaks and try not to work too hard in the heat during the hottest part of the day. Heat will remain intense but rain will be isolated the next few days. There's a low chance that a tropical wave currently near the Windward Islands could slowly develop by Friday or Saturday near the Yucatan Peninsula. This could enhance our rain chances slightly by this weekend so stay tuned. Otherwise, the heat will be the main issue. Also, swim with caution at area beaches with a risk for rip currents that continues.

A tropical wave in the Caribbean could approach the Yucatan Peninsula by this weekend, so we'll watch that, but overall it's just going to be a steamy week here.

Tropical Update: Chance for tropical wave in Gulf
Tropical Storm Alberto is long gone but two additional areas are being monitored for Tropical development. There's a 50-60% chance that a low in the SW Atlantic could develop into a tropical depression before it reaches the coast tonight. A broad low is also expected to form in the SW Gulf of Mexico this weekend and track northwest into Mexico next week. Impacts for Southeast Texas should be minimal this time. But slightly higher tides, spotty downpours, and a high rip currents risk will likely stick around next week.
Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Watch for scattered fast-moving showers and a few storms today with otherwise warm and humid conditions. For the weekend, it’s going to be a muggy one with highs in the mid 90s. Rain chances will be pretty low in Saturday with a few showers possible on Sunday. Get ready for steamy air next week - muggy air from the Gulf will move in through at least Wednesday along with scattered showers. There may be another brief tropical system in the Gulf in nearly the same area as Alberto, but its impacts here are not expected to be significant.

Also, watch for scattered storms this afternoon with a few heavy ones. After a few storms again tomorrow, the weekend looks hot and humid. Also, by the way, the summer solstice occurs at 3:50pm today, so summer officially begins late today.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Alberto, our first tropical storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, continues to bring waves of heavy rain, gusty winds, and coastal flooding to southeast Texas. The Flood Watch continues south of Houston until 1 a.m. Thursday. Coastal Flood Warning, Wind Advisory & high rip currents risk will stick around through early Thursday also. Storm surge around 2-4' can be expected around high tide which could mean more flooded roads along the coast. T.S. Alberto will make landfall by early Thursday in eastern Mexico taking much of the heavy rain and strong winds west by Thursday and Friday. Lower rain chances stick around for the weekend. We'll have to monitor the SW Gulf of Mexico again next week as another tropical system could form that would enhance our rain chances.
