Saturday’s Forecast:
Happy Mostly Sunny Saturday!
Isolated thunderstorms possible for some today (30% chance), with a higher likelihood of rain on Sunday (60%). We’re tracking typical August temperatures, but don’t be fooled—it’ll still feel scorching, with heat indices reaching up to 106 in some areas!
We’ll continue to track our high-pressure system move to the west, allowing for more disturbances to enter SE Texas next week.
Shower and storm chances hold off Saturday morning but by the late afternoon through the evening watch for hit or miss storms that could put a brief pause on your outdoor plans.
Tracking the tropics, tracking the Gulf:
The Atlantic is heating up! There are two areas of concern tracking in the Atlantic basin. Neither are expected to impact the Gulf coast over the next week.
Disturbance #1: We’re monitoring a tropical wave in the central Atlantic with diminishing thunderstorms and showers. Gradual development is possible over the next two days, but the chance remains low at 0%. Over the next 7 days, formation probability is 30%.
Disturbance #2:A tropical wave near the west coast of Africa is producing disorganized thunderstorms while moving at 15-20 mph across the eastern and central Atlantic. Formation chance is 0% for the next two days, rising to 30% over the next 7 days.

Your extended forecast:
Behind the rain comes more heat and humidity. As you’re planning your week, the heat remains the big story for Houston, with afternoon thunderstorms always a possibility, especially for those closer to the coast.
