The Weekend Forecast:
Heading into Saturday, we’ll see storm chances crank back up into the 60-70% range. Part of the reason is we’re wedged between two large areas of high pressure west and east of Texas.
The best way to think about why we’ll see rain chances increase is to think of the jet stream as a rope. With high pressure dominating west and east of us, it pushes the jet stream up, which will create a dip in the upper-level flow across Texas.
A dip in the flow allows for more vertical ascent of moist, unstable air, which once you head it up, will start to produce more widespread storms both Saturday and Sunday.
Tracking the tropics:
No tropical activity is expected in the next seven days. There is an indication that a storm may try to form along the Mid-Atlantic in a week and a half. That’s Sunday, July 20th. The chance is 10%, nothing to worry about as we’ll watch it for you.

Your 10-Day Forecast:
Temperatures are expected to stay consistent across Houston, with highs sticking to the lower to mid-90s through the weekend and beyond.
It’s been a few year’s since we’ve had a summer weather pattern like the last few weeks of more than commonly stormy weather. Next week, we’ll finally start to string a few dry (albeit very hot) days together in a row. so you have a chance to get some of those outdoor projects done!
