Late in the week, a cold front will push through the Lone Star state, increasing rain chances starting Thursday and continuing into Saturday.

Rain chances will go up quickly by Thursday and likely stay elevated because a front will stall out across the region.

Tracking the tropics:

There is no tropical activity in the Gulf, Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean. The Saharan dust has been very heavy across much of the tropical Atlantic and that is keeping things very quiet.

Another factor in keeping the tropics quiet is huge plums of Saharan dust that are helping to snuff out any development from tropical waves at this point.
