Monday’s Forecast:
Once again, expect to see isolated to spotty showers and storms across SE Texas through the afternoon hours. The rain chances kick off in the afternoon through the evening.
Saharan Dust is back!
Be on the lookout for hazy skies as Saharan dust moves in this week. The dense plum keeps skies milky through at least Wednesday, but another wave of dust approaching late this week could prolong hazy skies and poor air quality into the holiday weekend.
4th of July Weekend:
Hot, hazy and certainly humid will be the story for our holiday weekend. The Saharan dust will take over the skies, dry out most of our rain chances.
Be prepared for temps in the mid to upper 90s but the skies should be clear for fireworks Friday night!
Tracking the tropics:
In the tropics, we’re watching and tracking two developments: Barry is just leftovers after making landfall just south of Tampico, Mexico on Sunday. Barry is expected to continue to produce heavy rainfall across portions of eastern Mexico through this evening.
We’re also watching a boundary just east of New Orleans that has a 20% chance of development over the next seven days. Regardless, parts of Florida will likely see heavy rain for the next few days.
Remember, the Atlantic hurricane season lasts through November. Here in SE Texas, we see the tropical season peak in September, but we can see a storm anytime from now through the fall. Last year, Hurricane Beryl made landfall early in the morning on July 8th.
